PICK: ARTUR BETERBIEV VS. DMITRY BIVOL

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday, October 12, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and live on DAZN, Light-Heavyweight world titlists Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will battle it out for all the gold at 175 pounds.

Beterbiev (20-0, 20KOs) has remained perfect as a professional, stopping all 20 of his opponents in the process. Most recently, Beterbiev defended his three portions of the titles at Light-Heavyweight division against former Super Middleweight world champion Callum Smith, stopping the Brit in seven frames.

Bivol (23-0, 12KOs) has also stayed perfect as a professional, unbeaten since his debut in 2014. In his most recent outing, back in June of this year, Bivol picked apart and stopped Malik Zinad in the sixth frame of action. It was Bivol's first stoppage in ten years since Sullivan Barrera back in 2018.
