Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will meet in the ring for the third time to fight for the champion title

On the night of February 22-23, the long-awaited rematch between two Russian boxers, Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, took place in Saudi Arabia. The title of absolute world champion in the light heavyweight division was at stake, which made this fight especially significant. From the first seconds of the fight, Bivol took the center of the ring, masterfully using jabs and controlling the distance. Beterbiev, known for his powerful style and aggression, tried to close the distance and impose his game, but his opponent skillfully avoided the attacks thanks to excellent footwork and defense.

In the middle of the fight, Artur managed to land several powerful punches on Dmitry, causing him to stagger. However, Bivol quickly recovered and continued to respond with accurate combinations of punches. The final rounds were dictated by Dmitry, who looked fresher and more active. The judges unanimously awarded the victory to Bivol, thus taking revenge for the previous defeat and winning the title of absolute world champion in the light heavyweight division. This victory was the first defeat for Beterbiev in his professional career.

Now that Dmitry Bivol occupies a leading position in the world rankings and holds championship belts, new prospects are opening up for him. In addition, he overtook his opponent in the ranking of the best boxers regardless of weight category according to The Ring. Bivol has a third fight with Beterbiev ahead, for which he gave up the WBA title. The World Boxing Council (WBC) ordered Dmitry to defend his title against the mandatory challenger, David Benavidez. However, it is more important for him to prove his superiority over another champion.

This decision came as a surprise to many boxing experts and fans. Bivol himself expressed disappointment with the WBC decision, but emphasized his respect for it. He is also confident that he will be able to regain the title in the future. For now, he intends to focus on unifying the remaining belts and confirming his leadership in the light heavyweight division.
