Dmitry Bivol says he knows what he’s up against in this upcoming showdown, but isn’t batting an eye.
Dmitry Bivol gets a shot at becoming undisputed light heavyweight world champion tomorrow when he takes on Artur Beterbiev in a highly anticipated showdown. Bivol is known for his brilliant boxing style, which has lead him to an undefeated record, while Beterbiev is known for his 100% knockout ratio, also undefeated. Tomorrow in Saudi Arabia, something has to give.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Bivol acknowledges that he’s known of Beterbiev since their amateur days even if they never really had a personal relationship. Bivol isn’t intent in getting caught up in the hype surrounding his opponent, but is aware of what he’ll be facing.

He’s really dangerous and it makes me more excited to be honest. Your level, your enemies, the level of your challenges, shows your level also…October 12, it will be my show.”
