Artur Beterbiev apparently is open to the idea of rekindling his rivalry with Oleksandr Usyk. Beterbiev, the IBF, WBO, and WBC 175-pound champion from Russia, fought Ukraine's Usyk a few times in the amateur ranks.

That's a toss up fight, with both having different advantages that could turn the fight in their favor. Usyk has the advantage in size, movement, and level of opponents he's faced, but Beterbiev has the power equalizer, the brutally of his style, and slickness of his, often times overlooked, skills.

Interesting matchup. It might be a bit much for Artur Beterbiev but honestly that is what it's going to take to get him out of there. Nobody and I mean nobody is beating him underneath Usyk and other heavyweights. Bivol gets iced. Canelo gets iced. Benavidez would be interesting but IMO also eventually gets iced as well. The dude is a behemoth of a fighter at that weight. The only other thing that gets him is age.

Usyk is 225 lbs, just fight Bivol already ***

dude Usyk is 225 pounds they arent fighting. It would have to be beterbiev's last fight, he would have to go above 200 pounds and you seen RJJ after he went to heavy and back

Usyk would embarrass old azz beterbiev

You're right... the very young Usyk at 35 would have a huge age advantage ...

Usyk would torture Beterbiev.
