If Canelo don't wanna fight him at 168 and Beterbiev is injured and busy with the Smith fight, Gvozdyk is the guy to fight. Had another KO win today and ya he might not be the same fighter as before but its better than Bivol sitting around with no fight.
I don't think we see Bivol vs Gvozdyk for the same reason as we did not see Povetkin vs Usyk.... because people would make it about nationalities versus boxing... especially now.
Beyond that, not sure Bivol vs Gvozdyk does anything for Bivol anyway.
I do think that bivol vs Beterbiev happens sooner rather than later in Russia or in the middle east.
If anything, Gvozdyk was moving up to Cruiser and could be a good fight for Kovalev...
True but that's probably easier to sell than Ukraine vs Russia at the moment.
Bivol should fight Beterbiev , even without any belt on the line.
Anything else is wasting the time.
I’ve been suggesting it for a couple months now. Eddie is looking for some third rate British light heavyweight instead though, I’m sure

Correct me if I’m mistaken, but Dmitry only has one fight left under Hearn, yes? Smart move would be to fight ANYONE, collect a few greenbacks, and tell Eddie to take a long walk off a short pier. The sooner the better.
Maybe at time it looked good for Bivol team but now it looks like a horrible move. Arum or PBC should have been the move.
Does PBC have anything for him at 175?

I think that’s why Beterbiev only did the one fight deal with DAZN. He went to Top Rank to fight Kovalev, but that never happened. Hearn has been absolute dogshit to Bivol. He wasn’t even main eventing before the Canelo fight.
Not sure why anyone would sign with Matchroom TBH.
