“Undisputed” is a single word that evokes images of legendary titans and signifies a legacy that lasts forever once achieved. It’s been 20 years since the light heavyweight division has boasted such a giant, but that wait may finally be over. Knockout artist Artur Beterbiev is set to put his perfect record on the line against fellow undefeated champion Dmitry Bivol. As their highly anticipated fight approaches on October 12th in Saudi Arabia, let’s take a closer look at what each fighter brings to the table.
Artur Beterviev vs. Dmitry Bivol Predictions
Let’s start with the Russian dynamite Beterbiev, who demolishes his opponents with relentless ferocity, living up to his title as the knockout king and a truly destructive force. In his entire career, no fighter has managed to go the distance with him; forget losses, no one has even made it to the final round and left the decision to the judges. His record is impressive: 20 wins, all by knockout, whether he’s facing tough challengers like Callum Smith or Oleksandr Gvozdyk.
Meanwhile, the Kyrgyzstani boxer is another fighter who has never tasted defeat. The moment he steamrolled the Mexican boxing legend, Canelo Alvarez, the world began to take this monster seriously. In his 23 fights, he has won them all, with 12 of those victories coming by knockout, giving him an impressive 52% finishing rate. Notably, in those 23 matches, he has fought over 190 rounds, almost doubling Beterbiev’s experience in terms of round count.
Predicting this fight is no easy task, as the technical finesse of Bivol goes head-to-head with Beterbiev’s devastating knockout power. However, Bivol’s speed and distance management, along with Beterbiev’s experience and advancing age, will likely tip the scales. Based on these factors, it seems that Bivol will be the one to deliver Beterbiev his first loss.
