Strongest Sign Yet That Bivol vs Beterbiev Is A Go

Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev 3 is without doubt the fight to still make at light-heavyweight and it looks like it is close to happening again.

Beterbiev was meant to box this weekend in Saudi Arabia but it wasn’t meant to be — he also parted company with Bob Arum recently.

Bivol is coming off some surgery earlier this year but is making fast gains in his repair and comeback all the time.

Now, David Benavidez has said he wants to move to cruiserweight next year to fight champion Ramirez there.

What’s more, he said after his latest win over Anthony Yarde this weekend that light-heavyweight division Kingpin Bivol doesn’t want the fight with him.

Strongest Sign Yet That Bivol vs Beterbiev Is A Go

This all points to Bivol vs Beterbiev surely being discussed for the trilogy to happen behind the scenes.

It sells out a soccer stadium in Russia easily, Zenit St Petersburg can surely cash in for the club to host the event as one place in Russia.

That’s the easy sell and natural sell as Bivol is from there and already has a big fan base with fans at the club and often appears at matches there.

It holds 68,000 fans for soccer matches there as well.

Bivol and Beterbiev are 1-1 at the moment in fight score.

Too close MD points decisions on both occasions.

Benavidez for his part may not get the Ramirez fight straight away though.

A lot happening now in boxing.

Good times ahead for the sport with fights like these.
