No. We want the winner versus Bivol.

Screw Bob. Beterbiev vs Bivol is long overdue. Anthony Yarde hasn't done much to deserve another crack at the WBO, and honestly he looked poor against an old Kovalev. Yarde looks like he should rather try bodybuilding.

Kovalev was 3 years ago Yarde needs to get moving sharpish!!!

October in London has been rumoured.

It would be a good fight, yarde tho doesn't have the boxing fundamentals to box with Beterbiev, but would be an entertaining fight, however I think Smith has a good shot at winning this weekend, I will place a bet on this fight.

Lads, I don’t see a bivol Fight happening unless the public gets extremely interested in both sets of fighters, the winner of this and bivol. For two promotional companies to come together for that unification in a dual promotion between ESPN and dayzin I just don’t see it. Someone’s going to have to leave someone to make that happen

This. These promotional companies need to stop ****ting on the fans.

Beterbiev vs Bivol is the fight to make, hopefully he puts pressure on Bob to make that fight, just as Valdez did to fight Stevenson, that’s if he wins of course. If 2 fighters want the fight to happen, it can happen. Top Rank and Matchroom have worked together quite a few times before, so shouldn’t be an issue. Good luck to Yarde if he gets the fight, he’ll need it!
