Is There A Better Professional In The Highest Level Of Boxing Than Dmitry Bivol

When it comes to the highest level of the entire sport of boxing that of course is world championship professional boxing worldwide.

When you consider the word ‘professional’ in terms of dedication to training, improvements in fight to fight, impressive wins in the ring, overcoming injury and all round being a quality professional athlete, surely Dmitry Bivol is up there as one of the best.

Conversely, his Russian rival Artur Beterbiev is as well too — both are work horses who relentlessly pursue excellence in prize fighting.

Bivol however has been testing a lot recently with a major shoulder surgery rehab which is a key thing for a professional fighter.

A pro boxer without their hand, shoulder or arm is essentially disabled, these are the key tools of the trade.

Some suggested he would not be as effective after the surgery and maybe we won’t truly know until he steps in the ring of course.

But his training so far in early 2026 like here has been outstanding, he looks to be getting better and faster than ever.

Always in rythm, his timing on the pads with his coach is in sync regularly at the moment and he looks to be enjoying his training.

As the light-heavyweight champion and number one in the division that is an ominous sign for the rest of the division.

He comes across as a constant professional year on year and for us might be one of the most dedicated world champions there is.

Roll on a big year.
