The third confrontation between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol can take place in the near future. Beterbiev won the first match, and Bivol won the 2nd match recently. In addition, BIVOL may have to fight Benavidez before remaining Beterbiev in the future.
President of the International Boxing Association (IBA), Mr. Umar Kremleev confirmed that IBA wants to promote operations at the professional boxing playground. One of them is the match plan between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. This time, they can be up to the Russian Luzhniki Stadium.
“I think we all want to watch the third match between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. A competition between them is like the event of the year, and everyone wants to review again. Both are the strongest boxers in the current Light Heavyweight weight class. At all costs, we (IBA) will bring the match to Russia,” President IBA said.
One of the basis for IBA to bring the match between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol to Russia is that they are working with WBA. These two organizations have recently strengthened the link between professional boxing tournaments. Therefore, a big event in Russia is completely feasible.
In the past, both Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol were members of the Russian boxing team. Beterbiev once won the world champion at an amateur level and attended 2 Olympic periods. Bivol had 2 championships in the World Young Boxing, winning the gold medal in the world martial arts festival before competing.
