Presuming light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol successfully negotiates his May 30 defense against Michael Eifert, the IBA has plans for an Artur Beterbiev trilogy fight.

"I’m a massive optimist and a firm believer in power,” says IBA Pro director general Al Siesta.

Dmitriy Salita believes that Atif Oberlton, a 29-year-old from Philadelphia, is good enough to compete with the best light heavyweights in the world.

This shouldn't change any of the circumstances at light heavyweight for either David Morrell or the man he replaced at No. 1, Artur Beterbiev.
