Big names and big paydays often dictate the action in Boxing. But Artur Beterbiev is marching to the beat of his own drum. He is set to face Dmitri Bivol in a highly anticipated fight. The Russian powerhouse, known for his perfect record and a perfect knockout record, recently dropped a bombshell that’s got fight fans buzzing.
Artur Beterbiev, at the ripe age of 39, is a force of nature in the ring, with all 20 of his professional wins coming by knockout. Not a single opponent has heard the final bell against him. Fans would think a fighter with that kind of record would be chomping at the bit to face Canelo Alvarez, the sport’s biggest cash cow. But nope! Beterbiev is not interested.
“Canelo Alvarez has one belt from my division. That time I want to fight with him, but now, not interested, I really don’t [find it] interesting have fight with him,” said Beterbiev via Stomping Ground Media.
The light heavyweight champ made his stance crystal clear, and Beterbiev is not exactly jumping for joy at the prospect. It’s a head-scratcher, for sure. Most fighters would sell their soul for a shot at Canelo and the payday that comes with it. But Beterbiev has his sights set on something else entirely.
The Russian bruiser is laser-focused on unifying the 175-pound division. His next target is none other than the undefeated Dmitry Bivol, the man who handed Canelo his kryptonite!

Bivol, the WBA light heavyweight champ, sees this bout as his crowning achievement. He’s been boxing since he was a young lad. All those years of hard work, sweat, and probably a few bloody noses are coming to a head.
