Beterbiev is blaming Bivol for a delay

[JakeTheBoxer]

Not a good look. Bivol should explain us what is going on.

Beterbiev says he wanted the third fight to take place soon after the second, but Bivol requested in autumn or late 2025. Now Bivol wants it early in 2026.

Seems like Bivol is trying to age Artur out.

Running the Canelo tactic of ensuring the older fighter is in a nursing home for the rubber match. I respect it.

Go to his Instagram. He doesn't say 2026 but does say first was told end of autumn, then end of the year, now, i don't know when.

Like i said on another post i think the they want it in Russia is fake news. If that was the case Beterbiev would have mentioned it. Instead he is claiming he has no clue when it will be

Don't know wtf Bivol is doing but there must be a reason he is delaying it. Beterbiev for the 2nd fight wanted more time to recover his injury, yet still went ahead and gave Bivol the rematch just 4 months after their first fight. Bivol drops the belt not fighting Benavidez because we thought trilogy was close to being agreed yet here we are 5 months on from the 2nd fight with Beterbiev claiming he doesn't even know when it will happen and that Bivols side are delaying it

Lol

Bivol beat Bertebiev, got robbed, then had to go in again, give up his foot speed advantage to stand right in front of bivol to prevent the judges robbing him and beat Bertebiev again

Bivol has NO fear of this man.

He's already fought him twice but now he's trying to age him out. Great logic there.

There's probably some logistical reason for the delay. Relax.
