I have a feeling Bivol - Beterbiev winner will be thrown to Opetaia

They'll do whatever Turki tells them to, if they want to keep earning that Saudi $$Comment

Bivol would do it. Bivol has a desire to make some crazy things. Beterbiev, not likely. If Beterbiev stops Bivol, Beterbiev retires.Comment

If it’s offered and they take it, that’s on them. I wouldn’t call it “being thrown” in with Opetaia. And the Saudis would like pay the winner handsomely for it so don’t feel too bad for them.
But you can’t really force someone to move up.Comment

I'll enjoy laughing at you after Beterbiev breaks his face and ribsComment

My bad I thought it got changed couple years ago
"WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has revealed that the World Boxing Council has created a new weight class at 224-pounds, and changed the cruiserweight limit of 200-lbs to 190-lbs. Mauricio hasn’t given a name to the new 224-lb division. He says that will be revealed later".
Source: WBC Creates New 224-lb Division, Cruiserweight Now 190-lbs - Boxing News 24 (https://www.************.com/2020/10...0-lbs/)
The last wbc Cruiserweight title fight happened in November 2023 at the usual 200 limit with both fighters weighing around it.
The bigger problem with this fight is rehydration, mist CW end up in the 210 220 range fight night, AB might hit the scales at 200 if he's really pushing it, but bivol was like 183 in his fight with Canelo.Comment
