Battle of the Unbeatens: Light-Heavyweight Supremacy in Riyadh

Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, both undefeated, are set to clash for the undisputed light-heavyweight championship in Riyadh. Bivol, WBA champion, and Beterbiev, with WBC, IBF, and WBO titles, are former Russian teammates. The high-stakes match promises intense competition at the Kingdom Arena.

In Riyadh this Saturday, two undefeated titans, Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, will face off for the undisputed light-heavyweight championship. The match is expected to be fierce, as both fighters hold pristine records from their professional careers.

Bivol, 33, originally from Kyrgyzstan and now based in California, holds a 23-0 record with 12 knockouts, while Russian-born Canadian Beterbiev, 39, boasts a 20-0 record with all victories coming by knockout or stoppage. The event was delayed from June due to Beterbiev's knee injury.

As anticipation builds, Bivol's promoter Eddie Hearn and Beterbiev's promoter Frank Warren have heightened the narrative by portraying the bout as a strategic 'game of thrones' in boxing's light-heavyweight division.
