The world of boxing often thrives on drama and trash talk, but Artur Beterbiev marches to the beat of his own drum. This undefeated light-heavyweight champion is known for letting his fists do the talking. With a perfect 20-0 record, all by knockout, Beterbiev’s silence speaks volumes as he gears up for his undisputed title clash with Dmitry Bivol.
Beterbiev’s approach remains refreshingly old-school. He’s not about to start slinging insults or making bold predictions. When pressed about his game plan, he simply smiled and keeps silent. It’s like trying to get state secrets from a CIA agent – good luck with that!
“I have never done trash talk in my boxing career, and I don’t want to start now, you know,” said Beterbiev while talking to TNT Sports.
Beterbiev’s no-nonsense attitude stems from his amateur days. Back then, his coaches discouraged fighters from giving interviews during tournaments. Old habits die hard, it seems. Now, as a pro, he’s sticking to what works.
This tight-lipped strategy might frustrate promoters and media types. After all, trash talk sells fights. But Artur Beterbiev doesn’t seem to care. He’s more interested in perfecting his craft than talking his opponent down. His focus right now is the undefeated Dmitry Bivol, and he is not letting anything or anyone take it away from him.
