Dmitry Bivol Claims Undisputed Light-Heavyweight Title in Thrilling Rematch
Dmitry Bivol claimed the undisputed light-heavyweight championship in a thrilling rematch against Artur Beterbiev, securing a majority decision victory in Riyadh. The judges scored the bout 116-112, 115-113, and 114-114, handing Bivol the win and avenging his narrow loss to Beterbiev four months prior. The fight, a masterclass in technical skill and resilience, saw Bivol outbox his rival with precision and composure, despite Beterbiev’s relentless aggression.
Bivol, who had previously avoided a knockout by the power-punching Beterbiev, showcased his tactical brilliance, landing cleaner shots and controlling the pace in the later rounds. Beterbiev, known for his ferocity, pressed forward throughout the contest but struggled to break through Bivol’s defence consistently. The victory marked Beterbiev’s first professional defeat and set the stage for a potential trilogy fight, with both fighters expressing interest in a decisive third encounter.
On the undercard, Joseph Parker delivered a stunning second-round knockout against late replacement Martin Bakole, while Shakur Stevenson dominated Briton Josh Padley over nine rounds. The event, held in Saudi Arabia, solidified Bivol’s status as one of the sport’s elite and left fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this storied rivalry.
