In just two weeks, fight fans are gearing up for a showdown that promises to be one for the ages: Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol. Both fighters, undefeated and at the peak of their careers, embody the essence of modern boxing—skill, power, and an unyielding drive to be the best.

Bivol recently shared that his main goal is to become the undisputed champion by fighting the best in the light heavyweight division, like Beterbiev.

Adding to that, the Russian boxer expresses that this fight is truly what he was aiming for throughout his career.
He said, “This is my goal when I came to pro boxing, to be the best in the light heavyweight division and this is the final fight to prove myself. What it means for me? I’ve been in boxing since I was six years old. I sacrificed so much in my life. This is the final step. Did I do everything right or not? I want to make it that I did everything right.”
