Comments Thread For: Hearn Wants Bivol-Beterbiev in Abu Dhabi, But Bivol-Buatsi Very Possible

[YOU WILL LOSE]

bivol wont be complaining. he wants to be in the canelo show again, desperately.

beterbiev always cant fight bivol for 5 months out of the year,"he cant fight until the fall doe!!" or whatever. these guys say.. haney tried it but it didnt go over as well

So I can punt on any hope what so ever for the Beterbiev-Bivol unification match happening at all this year. Got it. I will let it go and just wait to see what Buatsi can do against Bivol this summer and then just sit back and pretend I care about Bivol-Canelo 2 in the fall. I will take what I can get as Beterbiev gets fed a scrub in late summer or early fall and then they wait out 2023 to see if they can get the unification with Bivol early next year. Hopefully, neither loses this year to derail the biggest 175 since Ward moved up to fight a still unbeaten Kovalev.

You know, at this point both of these guys will age out before this mega-fight happens. What is even more depressing is when you stop to think it should have happened 2 years ago and it should be a rematch at this point of their careers.

Modern boxing is stoopid.

I really don't get it! Surely if Ramadam finishe's on April 21st Beterbiev/Bivol can happen by the end of June. It's just Fa$t £ddie trying it on again!!........

How long are the matching rights for?

His next fight, not sure whether there’s a time lapse on them.

Bivol is not responsible for Beterbiev`s islamic "I am having ramadan" habits. he has a career also.

So if he fights Buatsi, it is ok for me.

Matching rights seems slimy somehow. Like something DK thought up.

Okolie’s deal had the same clause too I believe. Boxxer simply outbid them in regards to Okolie-Light.

I expect Buatsi to re-sign with MR anyway tbh.
