It’s Beterbiev vs Bivol fight week!
We’ve got an odd situation this week with the big Beterbiev vs Bivol card, so we’ll try to make that clear for you along with the rest of this week’s otherwise short schedule.
Friday, Oct. 11
DAZN, 7:00 pm ET, Jan Paul Rivera vs Andy Beltran. A Most Valuable Prospects show from Caguars, Puerto Rico, with a featherweight main event. Also on the card: Elijah Flores vs Omar Rosario and Amanda Serrano client Krystal Rosado in her fifth pro fight, plus more!
Saturday, Oct. 12
DAZN, Noon ET, Beterbiev vs Bivol undercard. Again, this is a really unusual situation, so going to try to make this very clear:
- You WILL NOT be able to watch the Beterbiev vs Bivol fight on DAZN or on the pay-per-view. That fight is exclusive to ESPN+ in the United States.
- You also WILL NOT be able to watch the Beterbiev vs Bivol undercard on the ESPN+ broadcast.
The undercard — featuring Wardley vs Clarke 2, Chris Eubank Jr’s return, Opetaia vs Massey, Nicolson vs Chapman, and more — as part of your DAZN subscription. It will NOT cost extra on top of your DAZN sub to watch it on DAZN. This is all very dumb rights stuff, but that’s how it lays out. Now if you’re in the UK, it looks like the show is a PPV period, so this DAZN/ESPN+ split only applies in the United States. BLH will have live updates.
ESPN+, 6:00 pm ET, Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol. One of the most desired and anticipated matchups over the last few years is finally (almost) here. Beterbiev and Bivol will square off for true light heavyweight supremacy, and more than this being “undisputed” it’s simply a very clear 1 vs 2 thing, even 1A vs 1B to finally settle a 1. These are two of the best fighters of their generation. We’ll find out who’s got it on Saturday. BLH will have live updates.
TrillerTV+, 5:00 pm ET, Acelino “Popo” Freitas vs Jorge El Chino. This is an exhibition that you can watch if you want. Esquiva Falcao is on the show!
