Artur Beterbiev will enter the light heavyweight championship match with Dmitry Bivol in the early morning of Sunday, October 13. The 38-year-old boxer’s goal is nothing more than to capture the remaining WBA belt owned by his opponent.

There is a reason why this weekend’s confrontation is considered a difficult task for Beterbiev, as Bivol is considered to be one of the most technically skilled boxers in the contemporary boxing world. After 23 matches, no opponent – including star Canelo Alvarez – has been able to take a victory from Bivol.

However, the audience’s and Beterbiev’s own belief in him comes from a number that is considered more perfect: 20 wins by knockout. Beterbiev is also the only world champion to have a record of all-knockout wins up to this point.

“We don’t just think about knockouts, that’s not the most important thing for me and my team. But if I hit, anyone can go down.”

“Of course, it’s not good to prepare for a fight with just a script. You need to fight smarter than that.”

Another special point that will make the audience completely focus on the professionalism of the fight. Both Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev do not intend to use provocative words or tricks to annoy their opponents like in other fights. They all believe that the opponent’s psychological wall is too strong, trying to break it down even affects their own image.
