Artur Beterbiev (40) has held the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship since 2024 as well as the Ring magazine and International Boxing Organization (IBO) titles. He is the first Undisputed Lightweight Heavyweight since Roy Jones Jr and had a distinguished Amateur career winning 295/300 bouts. He’s gone unbeaten since turning professional in 2013.

Dmitry Bivol (34) is a former champion having held the WBA Light Heavyweight title from 2017 to 2019 and the WBA Super Light Heavyweight title from 2019 to 2024. Bivol also had an exceptional amateur winning 268/283 bouts including a 2023 World Combat Games Gold Medal in 2013 in the 81kg category. He has one defeat in his professional career 23-1 with that coming against Beterbiev via majority decision last October.

Fight Analysis

These fighters have history, at the Kingdom Arena last October, Beterbiev beat Bivol via majority decision for the WBA (Super) and IBO Light Heavyweight titles.  I

Interestingly despite Bivol losing last time out he landed more punches than Beterbiev (142 to 137) and was more effective, landing 34% of those punches to only 20% for Beterbiev but was not enough to sway the judges losing out on the scorecards 113-115, 112-116 and 114-114.

Beterbiev had won his previous 20 bouts via KO before he had fought Bivol last time out going 12 rounds for the first time in his professional career. Bivol on the other hand had gone the distance 11 times in his first 22 bouts winning via decision 11 times with his first-ever defeat coming last time out.

Artur Beterbiev v  Dmitry Bivol Prediction

This was a blockbuster bout last October and it did not disappoint going the distance with Beterbiev getting the better of Bivol somewhat controversially on the scorecards.

Despite a similar amount of pro bouts, Bivol is 6 years younger and with Beterbiev going the distance for the first time last time around, I think Bivol might have more stamina in the tank and eventually get the win.
