    **** the light heavyweight division

    Fan of Bivol and Beterbiev but it's 2023 and only one has defended their titles once.

    These guys have been champions since 2017. Promoters are pushing for undisputed. Fans are barely pushing for undisputed.

    **** em. Don't need em.

    They’re never going to unify with each other. It’s shameful.

      Beterbievs next fight is Jan. Same month he turns 39 years old.

      Bivol is lost. MR have no one to give him. Their plan and Bivols teams plan was holding out on the 2nd Canelo cheque. But they got big for their boots and didn't realise they can't demand anything from Canelo he is A side vs anyone and has options everyone wants him. Should have accepted the first offer they got.

        I would prefer to see Bivol fight an unknown guys at 175 than the Canelo rematch. I'm glad that didn't happen.

          yet again promoters and their ****** contracts make it impossible for the fights that fans want to see happen.

            Ok but why aren't the fighters putting their foot down, demanding the fight be made?

              I don't think anyone wanted to see the Canelo rematch at 175. 168 would've been good but the WBC/Canelo scuppered that. The fact we didn't get a meaningful fight between Canelo and Bivol was solely the fault of Sulaiman and Canelo. Zip Canelo up when you're done.

                From what I've seen, Bivol has tried to make this fight but Beterbiev's promoters don't want it.

                  What's stopping Beterbiev from demanding it?

                    Bivol - Beterbiev is my favorite fight on the wish list, but I can`t do anything.

                    Bivol is losing his prime right now. he obviously felt in love with his achievements last year. he should go to the other promotor, change the citizenship, do something. Obviusly he can`t even get Azeez or Buatsi.

                    Beterbiev has health problems and it is what it is.
