The two were originally scheduled to meet on June 1, but Beterbiev was injured during training, and the event had to be postponed.
Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol Odds
Dmitry Bivol is a skilled boxer known for his technical finesse and employs a European style of movement. Bivol is also incredibly fast, can deal with punches without getting hit, and can frustrate his opponent while maintaining balance. His victory against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in 2022 strengthened his position as a top-notch fighter. However, despite his impeccable defence, he has never faced an opponent as dangerous as Beterbiev.
On the other hand, the Russian-Canadian boxer Artur Beterbiev has an enviable record of knocking down every opponent he has faced. His 100% KO record can waver the courage of even the most confident opponent.
While Beterbiev is known for his powerful punches, he also possesses a keen acumen and brains in addition to being a puncher. Despite advancing age (Beterbiev is 40), his hardiness and experience cannot be ignored. Beterbiev holds the WBC, IBF, and WBO titles at 175lbs.
Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol Prediction
