Ahead of any big event, one thing that everyone—fans and analysts alike—enjoys is making predictions. After analyzing every angle, they conclude their forecasts. Currently, everyone in the boxing world is doing just that for the upcoming Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol fight. Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk has made his prediction, snubbing Beterbiev and stating that he believes Bivol has a better chance. In response, the Russian boxer, when asked about his reaction to this, brushed off Usyk’s comments.
Recently, ahead of the fight, Pro Boxing Fans caught up with Beterbiev and threw some hot questions his way that everyone is buzzing about. Considering that boxing champ Usyk made his prediction, stating he thinks Bivol will win, Beterbiev was asked for his thoughts on it. In response, Beterbiev expressed that he doesn’t care about the prediction; he is fully focused on one thing: how to win the fight.
In his words, “They can say anything. I don’t think about them about what they say and what they not. I’m all focused on my fight.”
For those who don’t know, Usyk and Beterbiev have a history, having faced each other in the ring twice, with Beterbiev outclassing Usyk during the 2012 Olympics. This could explain why the Ukrainian champ isn’t on Beterbiev’s side; the sting from that defeat still lingers, creating a rivalry that impacts their current relationship.
