Artur Beterbiev vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk - 10/18/2019

If there is any fight to tune into this week, this is the one. The undisputed light heavyweight title is going to be on the line.

In one corner, we have Artur Beterbiev (20-0). Beterbiev is one of the scariest fighters in the sport. 20 wins and 20 knockouts. All against some of the best boxers the division has had to offer in recent years. Just a scary man to have to face off with. And all that success has brought him 3 titles at 175lbs - IBF, WBO, and WBC.

Beterbiev will face off with fellow LHW champion Dmitry Bivol (23-0) this Saturday (Oct. 12). Best fight in boxing!

Beterbiev vs. Yarde goes down SATURDAY (3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT) at OVO Arena Wembley LIVE & EXCLUSIVELY on ESPN+

LONDON— King Artur is ready to light up London.

WBC/IBF/WBO light heavyweight world champion Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs), boxing's only world champion with a 100 percent knockout rate, will battle England's big-punching Anthony Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs) on Saturday evening at OVO Arena Wembley. Beterbiev-Yarde and undercard bouts will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT.

Beterbiev returns to London for the first time since he represented Russia at the 2012 Olympics. He lost a close decision to Oleksandr Usyk in the quarterfinals of the heavyweight bracket, which concluded his amateur career. Beterbiev has resided in Montreal for more than a decade and fought his first eight pro bouts in Canada. He captured the IBF title in 2017, claimed the WBC crown in 2019 with a thrilling knockout over Oleksandr Gvozdyk, and added the WBO strap last June with a second-round bludgeoning of Joe Smith Jr.

Yarde does not have Beterbiev's amateur pedigree, but he holds a claim as one of boxing's pound-for-pound fiercest punchers. He has won his last three bouts, including a 2021 fourth-round knockout over Lyndon Arthur, who toppled Yarde by split decision in 2020. Yarde fought for a world title once before, succumbing via an 11th-round knockout to Sergey Kovalev after nearly stopping Kovalev in the eighth round. This is what the main event combatants had to say following Wednesday's media workout. Artur Beterbiev "I had a good camp. I had good sparring. I will try to do my best." "My team and I always try to be ready for anything, any strategy." "I can't compare {Yarde} to Joe Smith. It's a different fight. Joe Smith had a belt at that time. It's not comparable." On a potential Dmitry Bivol fight "Right now, it's Saturday night. I only think about Saturday night." Anthony Yarde "If you look at what he's accomplished so far, it's amazing, and that's what amps me up. So, again, I beat him, I deserve some respect." "I don't look at what any other fighter has done {to him}. I don't look at what he's done to other fighters. Realistically, all you look at is style, but even that, you can't take too much from. You only know once you step in there with a person, and you both shape up and you both start trading leather." "He's never been in a situation where he's lost. But for me, it's all about me. That's the way I am. That's the way I operate. It's about me and my legacy. He's just the person with the belts." On the home crowd advantage "I just feel like this one feels right. This one feels better. {The Sergey Kovalev fight} didn't. All that matters is when we get in that ring. Everything that's said before is all he said, she said possibilities and things like that. When we get in the ring, that's when we'll see." Subscribe to Top Rank’s YouTube Channel for fight week highlights and exclusive interviews.

David Benavidez vs Demetrius Andrade - November 25, 2023

PBC is finally back. The promotion is set to make its debut on Amazon Prime for their big PPV return. With Gervonta Davis-Frank Martin headlining, they're going to use the show to get shine on some other top fighters.

This includes David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs) who will be on the card. With no Canelo fight on the horizon for Benavidez, he is instead moving up to light heavyweight. With all the titles currently held up by Beterbiev and Bivol, Benavidez will have to settle for an interim title. He is set to face off with Ukrainian Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs). Fight goes down this Saturday (June 15).

What's Next For Dmitry Bivol?

Published: November 11, 2022

"When going into the ring, I have always had it in my mind that I would be the conqueror. That has always been my disposition."  -- John L. Sullivan

Dmitry Bivol always seeks the most challenging fights, then has a knack for remaining coolly confident throughout the build-up, performing as required on the night to get the victory, with the unique ability to simultaneously exude humility. He believes in his ability and game plan. The talking will be done in the ring. Talking away from the ring when opponents try to convince themselves, and opponents can give the public their chances.

After the WBA light heavyweight champion’s excellent display against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez in his tenth title defense, Bivol stated: “The lion is not the biggest animal in the jungle, but he’s King. Yeah Zurdo is bigger than me, it doesn’t matter.”

Bivol has the mentality of a champion, with unshakable confidence due to his control, discipline, and ability to use an opponent’s aggression against him.

Bivol’s unanimous decision win in Abu Dhabi was his first outing since his career-defining win against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez back in May 2022. This has been a break-out year for the Kyrgyzstan-born technician, as he has gone from the purist’s favorite to somewhat of a mainstream attraction.

A legit test, a perceived genuine threat, was made to look easy. Naturally, attention has now shifted to Bivol’s next move. Usually, these “What’s next?” pieces have many options to choose from for fighters, with numerous contenders and pretenders to the throne. In Bivol’s case, there are only really two genuinely viable options. These are the rematch against Canelo, with the weight class for the fight, whether at 168 lbs or 175, to be determined, or a light heavyweight undisputed showdown against WBC, IBF, and WBO champion, Artur Beterbiev.

Speaking to ID Boxing prior to the fight, Bivol said: “I want to be undisputed champion in light heavyweight. This is my goal. I want to have more belts. I want to move forward. Doesn’t matter who’s my opponent, I just want to fight for the belts.”

Bivol reinforced his wishes after the Ramirez fight. He has a true champion’s mindset, prioritizing legacy over money.

If boxing were straightforward, Bivol vs. Beterbiev would be next. Bivol wants Beterbiev; the pair hold all the belts, Bivol has just disposed of his mandatory challenger, and the winner will create history. However, more often than not, boxing doesn’t work how we would like it to. If it did, we would be looking ahead to Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua and Errol Spence Jr vs. Terence Crawford in the coming months, not Tyson Fury vs. Dereck Chisora and Terence Crawford vs. David Avanesyan. The fights that usually make the most sense are not the fights we usually get.

Beterbiev is the most dangerous puncher in the light heavyweight division and one of the most brutal punchers in the sport. Boxing’s only active champion with a 100% knockout rate, with 18 knockouts in 18 fights. That is the man Bivol wants in the ring.

Beterbiev is set to face WBO mandatory challenger Anthony Yarde in early 2023. Assuming Beterbiev prevails, which he is massively favored to do so, there would be a stylistically colossal showdown on our hands. The master boxer against the wrecking ball. A wrecking ball with underrated boxing ability which hits extremely hard to the head and body. Beterbiev, although having compiled an impressive resume in his 18 professional fights with wins against the likes of Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Marcus Browne, and Joe Smith Jr, has never faced a fighter as skilled as Bivol. This is a fight we should all get behind and clamor for vehemently.

Bivol is aware that there might be obstacles, and the Canelo rematch is a fight that team Canelo and Eddie Hearn seem to be really pushing for. There would undoubtedly be big financial rewards for Bivol in a Canelo rematch, but the public’s desire for this rematch is a lot less than before their first encounter in May. Bivol is not as keen on that fight as the first time, and the general public feels the manner in which Bivol outclassed Canelo the first time was conclusive enough, with no rematch required.

Boxing seems to have developed a bad habit of delaying big fights. “Marination” is nothing new in boxing. Giving a potential mega-fight some time to get bigger and truly whet the public’s appetite has always existed in boxing. However, it never used to take this long. The big fights take so long to transpire, that the boxing community starts to lose interest.

Beterbiev vs. Bivol is the fight to make right now. If not the absolute next fight, then as close to next as possible. Bivol is 31 and in his prime. Beterbiev is 37, turning 38 in January. Although Beterbiev is coming off a very impressive two-round destruction of Smith Jr, time is not on his side. The time for this showdown is ripe. Any further delays are just a waste of time.

@peltzboxing Sure glad I'm slowing down. Los Angeles on Sept. 14 with Avery Marcus Sparrow vs. Ryan Garcia. Parx Casino in Bensalem, PA, six nights later with Stevie Ortiz vs. Alejandro Salinas on top. Next is my Golden Anniversary card--Blood, Sweat & 50 Years--on Friday, Oct. 4, with Victor Alejandro Padilla vs. Romain Thomas at the 2300 Arena. That is followed by Friday, Oct. 18, at the Liacouras Center with Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs. Artur Beterbiev, a 175-pound title unification match. Then trying to put the finishing touches back in Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 2, with Jason Sosa challenging Miguel Berchelt for the WBC junior lightweight title. By mid-November you can peel me off the street. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2C7MaEhjOn/?igshid=b6z1wgvtplqa
