That sucks. i was looking forward to see Artur back in the action.

Damn. Want it to be Bivol he’s fighting, but any Artur fight promises some sweet action. Hope it’s not too long of a postponement.

Yeah that fight is never happening. Beterbiev is 39 in a few months and we're still no closer to the fight.

Just wait for Smith telling around that Beterbiev ducked him.

Bivol vs Smith winner get Beterbiev.

Hopefully this isn’t another case of a Top Rank fighter suffering an injury and postponing the fight, only to end up fighting a different opponent afterwards.

Like Josh Taylor. Or like when Roman Martinez was supposed to defend his belt against Miguel Berchelt, got “injured,” then defended his belt against Lomachenko instead.

i heard that a termite laid eggs in beterbiev's jaw bone and they've been gnawing away at the granite. word is that he's getting knocked down in sparring due to the effects. he might get knocked out in this one
