There was huge excitement earlier this year when the anticipated showdown between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev was ordered. However, injury curtailed plans for the bout to take place in June. But, the fight that the world wants to see will reportedly take place before the end of the year, and you can find the latest odds for the undisputed light-heavyweight showdown here.

Before Betting On Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev

The hotly-anticipated bout between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev was set to take place earlier this year, but it was postponed after the latter picked up an injury. It was originally set to be staged during the ‘5 vs 5’ night in Saudi Arabia, but was called off due to Beterbiev suffering a ruptured meniscus. However, fans can once again look forward to the light-heavyweight showdown, with reports claiming that the fight will now take place in October in Saudi Arabia.

The new date was announced after Bivol put on a clinic to successfully defend his WBA and IBO titles against Malik Zinad in June. Bivol was dominant from start to finish in that bout, as he improved his professional record to 23-0 with a TKO finish in the sixth round. The victory means that Bivol has now won 12 of his professional bouts by knockout, with eleven victories coming by decision.

Beterbiev will be back in action to prove that he is the dominant force in the division after holding light-heavyweight gold since 2019. The Russian-born Canadian fighter has a dominant professional record, having won all 20 of his bouts by knockout. He is currently ranked as the top fighter in the division by ESPN, BoxRec, and The Ring.

Beterbiev was previously in action in January 2024, as he scored a seventh-round win against Callum Smith to successfully defend the WBC, IBF, and WBO titles. However, one of the biggest questions surrounding his chances against Bivol will be his fitness after fighting just once since February 2023.
