Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will settle their rivalry in a huge undisputed light-heavyweight title rematch this Saturday.
The first clash between two of boxing’s best was marred in controversy after Beterbiev secured a majority decision win. The contest was extremely close with both men separated by just five punches over the 12-round distance.
But in the end, two of the judges scored it in Beterbiev’s favour by margins of 115-113 and 116-112 while the third had it as a draw at 114-114 – with Bivol’s manager vowing to submit an official protest over the scoring.
