Dmitry Bivol what might be next after Eifert win this weekend in boxing where he returned after significant surgery.
He ran out an easy winner on points by UD in a fight he was expected to win.
He was a much better boxer than Eifert and he controlled the fight at times with his use of range and distance and superior ability.
He looked not as strong as he had been before at light-heavyweight and the surgery took something out of him we think.
Not the Bivol of old.
For those new to boxing, what might be next and some background:
- Result: Bivol won by unanimous decision 30 May 2026, 120-107 on all cards this weekend.
- Records: Bivol moves to 26-1, Eifert drops to 14-2.
- First fight back: Returned after 15 months and back surgery, and it showed.
- Fight notes: Dropped Eifert in round 1, dominated from range, the knockdown was more timing than power though.
- Next options talked about: Trilogy fight with Artur Beterbiev
- Next options talked about: Fight with David Benavidez to unify titles
- No damage reported: Bivol came through healthy, no setbacks from what we can see.
Supposedly Bivol vs Benavidez is the fight that is to be made next according to how easy they can make that fight.
But who knows what fights they will be in next.
The Beterbiev trilogy seems a natural fight to make at this point for Bivol.
