By Keith Idec - Dmitry Bivol hasn’t won a fight by knockout in 5½ years. The long-reigning, unbeaten WBA light heavyweight champion has won each of his last eight 12-round bouts by unanimous decision. He hasn’t stopped an opponent inside the distance since he beat Cuban contender Sullivan Barrera by 12th-round technical knockout in March 2018 in The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.
CHRISTMAS IS QUICKLY closing in but, before we contemplate tucking into any turkey, we will encounter our Day of Reckoning in Riyadh. Yes, probably the most bumper card in the history of boxing is nearly upon us and this significant sporting segment of Riyadh Season takes place on December 23 at the spectacular Kingdom Arena.
Russian light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol is fascinated by the idea of trading punches with Artur Beterbiev. Bivol, who holds the WBA 175-pound belt, spoke highly of his countryman and fellow titlist Beterbiev, who holds the remaining WBO, WBC, and IBF belts. The two were recently spotted in an informal face-off in Saudi Arabia ahead of the high-profile heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.
