One of the most anticipated boxing bouts of the year occurs in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, October 12, as the 2024 Riyadh Season continues in earnest. Two of the most potent pugilists on the planet, Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, finally get it on, with undisputed light-heavyweight glory on the line.
Beterbiev (20-0) is the unified light heavyweight champion, holding gold since 2017. The Russian with Canadian citizenship has a 100% knockout-to-win ratio, with one fight almost going the distance. He looks to extend that streak while also showcasing his overall boxing skills.
Bivol (23-0) has twelve wins via the power punch. Holding the WBA light heavyweight title since 2016, when he won the interim belt, the Russian is ready to add more gold to his waist.
