Dmitry Bivol signs with Matchroom USA/DAZN

[Eff Pandas]

What’s the latest with Beterbiev, I was hoping he could be signed by Hearn.

He's back with that f#ckhead GYM/Yvon Michel who don't even understand the upside of inhouse fights when he's had a who's who of top 175lbers for years. He's like the anti-Arum, but its sorta worse than Arum cuz at least Arum does put together some solid in house fights at times. This mfer is too f#cking ****** to even know when in house fights are win win situations.

Randomly now that we are getting into real names & less speculation let me throw out there I was listening to Adam Abramowitz on Boxing Esq's podcast (a good business of boxing podcast if you don't listen already) the other day & he said he's seen 4 or 5 of these Eddie/DAZN contracts & all of them were for 3 fights & 18 months. So odds are thats what Bivol's deal is.

Would not be surprised if wensee main events join up with Hearn too.

I've seen more than a couple people say this & idk why Hearn would wanna deal with Duva or Duva would wanna deal with Hearn. Don't make any sense to me whatsoever.

Not to mention & maybe most importantly Duva thinks HBO is the star maker of boxing. She's not leaving HBO for some streaming platform that if they are lucky will have 500k subscribers within 12mos (assuming the rumored $20/mo price is a go).

And I can't imagine these two talking to each other in passing for more than 45 seconds & it being comfortable. Eddie might catch a murder charge for killing her for doing that annoying nervous laugh she does far too frequently.

Right on the money.

This mofo put his personal interests of being Stevenson's security guard than worrying about the rest of his stable. Haymon must have made a secret deal with him and now Artur is locked away smh.

Edit: Green K for your post. Meant to write, word for word true before submitting.

WOW

[Hnnnggg]

Huge win for Hearn. Bivol looks to be the future of 175, hope he can get some good matchups on this platform. Hbo has one foot in the grave, but they are still hanging on by a thread due to having a few marquee fighters.

Extremely good fighter

In my top 10 p4p

Gonna be extremely difficult to beat

Very good power, good poise, great boxing skills, balance, jab

[dan_cov]

Great pick up if true, Bivol is a beast.
One of the best boxers at any weight right now imho

So does this take the Kovalev fight off the table?
