    Bivol back in January according to Hearn

    Apparently we will see the return of Bivol in January on the Kholmatov - Ford card. Anyone have an idea of a likely opponent?

    Amazing to think his 2023 ended up being a write off after his best year in 2022.

    Source?

    Other than Beterbiev, there's no top guys left for Bivol to face. Buatsi left Matchroom to face Azeez, and the winner is #1 in line for Bivol's title. Then you have Beterbiev facing Callum Smith next. Injuries are really hurting LHW.

                Matchroom was planning to make Bivol/Buatsi, but Buatsi left. Bivol/Canelo 2 would've been a Matchroom show, but that didn't happen either. I don't think Bivol wants to be thrown in there with anyone. Also, Beterbiev is signed to face Callum Smith next...and it would've happened already if Beterbiev didn't have to recover from a jaw infection. Bivol's inactivity is a reflection of what's happening in the entire division.

You can't just throw Bivol in there with anyone. Also, Beterbiev is signed to face Callum Smith next...and it would've happened already if Beterbiev didn't have to recover from a jaw infection.

                    ...after beating Canelo, I assume Bivol wants every bout to be significant now. I assume people would've criticized the Buatsi match-up too. LHW is stagnant as hell right now, and that's why we're holding on to Beterbiev/Bivol for dear life. But there's too much bullshxt involved with that match-up. It seems like the hardcore fans are the only ones that want it, and not the parties who are in charge of actually making it happen.
