Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will meet for the four belts at Light Heavyweight for the undisputed championship tonight at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This fight will determine who is for real as the #1 guy in the 175-lb division.
The Beterbiev vs. Bivol fight will be shown live on ESPN+ at 6:00 p.m. ET. The undercard will be shown on DAZN PPV for the U.S. and Canada, starting at Noon ET.
Not surprisingly, fans find it confusing that the Beterbiev-Bivol fight has been cropped off from the rest of the card and shown on a different network, ESPN+. However, outside of the U.S. and Canada, the entire card, main event, and undercard will be shown on DAZN PPV.

Broadcast Information
Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol on ESPN+ at 6:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. PT.
IBF, WBC, and WBO light heavyweight champion Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs) and WBA champ Bivol (23-0, 12 KOs) fight for the undisputed championship at 175. A special Undisputed belt has been created for the contest winner.
Bivol, 33, is the favorite to win tonight, but that doesn’t mean much, given that he’s facing his toughest opponent of his 11-year career, and there are many question marks about whether he’s as good as some believe him to be.
Tonight’s Undercard shown on DAZN PPV at noon ET
Fabio Wardley vs. Frazer Clarke
Jai Opetaia vs. Jack Massey
Chris Eubank Jr vs. Kamil Szeremeta

The undercard has been widely criticized by fans as lacking quality, depth or any entertainment value for North Americans. It’s an undercard that some fans believe is slanted toward the UK audiences and the ultra-extreme hardcore boxing fans rather than the masses.
