Which way do Bivol and Beterbiev go after their respective fight?

[JakeTheBoxer]

I believe if Bivol wins clearly, he fights Benavidez. Or maybe even Canelo, if Canelo choses to step up and fight for 175 belts.

I believe if Beterbiev wins clearly, he moves on to cruiserweight and challenges Opetaia for the title. In that case Bivol fights somebody for one or more free belts at 175.

I believe beterbiev retires, if he loses clearly.

If the fight is close, they could go for a rematch.

2025
Biv VS Alvarez 2.
Biv VS winner of Bena-Morrell
Bet VS Jai

2026
probably Biv VS Jai or whoever the top cruiser is

I don't see Canelo actually fighting Bivol or Beterbiev, but most definitely not a Bivol who won against Beterbiev. He's gotta look very bad for Canelo to actually get interested.

Now maaaybe if Bivol gets KOed early against Beterbiev and loses very badly AND he agrees to come down to 168 AND also have a rehydration clause?

[moochi]

Beterbiev 100% retirement either way (win or lose).

Bivol can't go to cruiser, he's just to small and unless Turki wants him to, he won't.

Winner vs Benavidez

if Beterbiev loses then retirement as he's nearly 40
Bivol loses, rebuilds a comeback fight vs a lower ranked opponent

If it's a close fight or controversial fight, maybe a rematch

[JakeTheBoxer]

If Bivol wins, he likely fight Morrell - Benavidez next . Beterbiev moves up, win or lose, I am starting to think.

If Bivol loses, 175 belts ill be vacant.
