Why Didn't Bivol Fight Once This Year? The ***?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

He owes Hearn one more fight and my best guess is that Hearn is delaying as long as possible as Bivol is not going to re-sign.

Exactly this. He’s being shelved.

I wouldn't mind seeing Bivol make a fight with Badou Jack at CW while he's waiting on Canelo and Beterbiev. It's a good fight for a title in another weight class.

Bivol doesn't need a catch weight against Jack. Are you joking?

I believe it is a combination of factors.

The Canelo negotiations held up part of the year.

Another factor is that he is high risk and not so much high reward. He holds a major title and at 175 there are not many people seriously lining up for that title shot.

Arum has stated on more than 1 occasion, he doesnt want Beterbiev to fight Bivol.


Bivol has always wanted to fight Beterbiev.

its not just arum. the wbc won't sanction a fight between bivol and beterbiev at all!

The CW was for Cruiserweight, not catch weight.

There still time to get a 2nd fight in this year for Bivol Terence & Naoya

He needs to get active. Talented fighter but just wasting away his career which is not good for him or the sport of boxing.
