    What happened to Zurdo vs Bivol. Some boxing account said on instagram that it was done and about to be announced, and then both their official accounts thumbed it up.

      This would be a fantastic fight, both are undefeated champions. Artur Beterbiev is a murderous puncher, and Dmitry Bivol is more of a boxer. It's a classic match between the best Light Heavyweights in boxing. I would pick the puncher in this match up, but I could be wrong Bivol can box his opponents into frustration.

        Zurdo against either Bivol, or Beterbiev, would be great fights to watch. Zurdo also has good height, reach, boxing, and punching ability to win those fights. I'm not saying that he would, but his chances are very good to win.

          It was supposed to be "IS" going to be (great or bad, it's debatable) to watch, not "would be." What happened? Its supposed to be done, Bivol vs Zurdo. And before that there was buzz that it would be Browne. Any lesser opponent next after they leaked those names would be a disaster for Bivol's reputation. His fanbase mostly only supports boxers who legitimately chase the best opponent every fight, not ones who just pretend, or who make lowball offers.

          Now that Bivol has at least one, maybe two, decent opponent options for late 2020/early 2021, in Zurdo and Browne, if he fights anyone else, I think Bivol will lose a lot of his fans and rightfully so.

            Would be a brilliant match-up as it happens. Berbetiev is a monster, but Bivol punches with speed and authority. Bring it on!

                  Zurdo Promotions going for that trilogy with Hart. The fans demand it.
