The Return of the King: Artur Beterbiev will face Deon Nicholson in the ring in Riyadh.

For Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs), this fight is an opportunity to announce his triumphant return after a tense two-fight standoff with Dmitry Bivol. The showdown with Bivol, during which the boxers traded victories, was a true highlight of the light heavyweight division. Now, entering the ring for the first time in a long time without a championship belt on the line, Beterbiev intends to prove that he remains one of the most dangerous punchers on the planet. At 40 years old, Artur maintains incredible physical fitness and motivation, and his resume, in which 20 of 21 victories have come by knockout, speaks for itself.

His opponent, 34-year-old Deon Nicholson, nicknamed "The Equalizer" (22-1, 18 KOs), approaches this fight in the peak of his form, riding an eight-fight winning streak. The American suffered his only career defeat in 2021, but since then he has steadily climbed to the top, demonstrating impressive striking power—18 of his 22 victories have been stoppages. For Nicholson, the fight with the legendary Beterbiev is the biggest challenge of his career and a unique chance to break into the elite of world boxing.

The upcoming fight will be a real gift for connoisseurs of uncompromising boxing. On one side of the ring is the experience and devastating power of Beterbiev, who is striving to regain his lost ground. On the other, Deon Nicholson, who is eager to cause a sensation, has ambitions and a hunger for big victories. The evening of boxing in Riyadh promises to be intense, and the clash of two powerful knockout artists will undoubtedly be its culmination, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats from the first to the last second.
