It is understood that a super fight and trilogy match between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol fight in Russia is close.
Plausibly they could put such a super fight in a soccer stadium in Russia in front of between 60,000 to 80,000 fans.
It is that big a fight.
However it is not quite confirmed yet.
Speaking on Instagram a short time ago Beterbiev said:
“I received hundreds of questions about the third fight, that’s why I decided to answer here.
As you know, the first fight for the absolute champion title took place in October last year. After five years of attempts to unify the belts, it was still successful. The day after the first fight, we agreed on a rematch, which was to take place within four months, despite the fact that I was after the operation, and my coach and doctor were categorically against such an early rematch.
After the second fight, I immediately showed interest in an early third fight, and at first there were rumors about the fight in August, but my opponent said in an interview that he wanted to hold it in late autumn, then – at the end of the year, and now – it is completely unknown when.
Dima, how old do I have to be so that we can fight for the third time?”
Surely the fight will get over the line and be properly agreed shortly.
Both boxers have been training in the gym for some time now since the second fight earlier this year.
Bivol winning on points, the first bout ending in a draw.
It is understood both Bivol and Beterbiev are looking to get the fight made in Russia.
