Artur Beterbiev Next Fight: Will Beterbiev Fight Bivol Again In A Rematch?
Boxing fans witnessed history as the undisputed world light-heavyweight showdown between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol took centre stage in Saudi Arabia on October 12th.
All four world title belts were on the line for Beterbiev vs Bivol, meaning the 175-pound division now have a clear #1 and undisputed champion after the conclusion of the fight. That man is indeed Artur Beterbiev. Now, fans are already discussing the potential rematch between the two elite Russian boxers.
Artur Beterbiev’s record currently stands at a perfect 21-0, with 20 of these wins coming via knockout. The only man that Beterbiev hasn’t stopped was of course Bivol in their first fight, but he has the chance to defeat his Russian counterpart via knockout in early 2025.
This is because the Artur Beterbiev next fight has been officially confirmed. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has revealed a quite sensational line-up for February 22nd in Riyadh, headlined by Beterbiev vs Bivol 2.
Several other world title fights feature on the bill, with names such as Daniel Dubois, Shakur Stevenson, Zhilei Zhang and Hamzah Sheeraz all featuring on the card.
After becoming the undisputed king against Dmitry Bivol, winning the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF World Light-Heavyweight Titles, Beterbiev goes into this rematch as the marginal favourite with the best UK betting sites.
Beterbiev isn’t getting any younger at 39-years-old, so his next fight against Bivol may even be his last. Time will what happens later in the year for the 21-0 light-heavyweight king. For now though, all eyes are on Artur Beterbiev’s next fight against Dmitry Bivol on February 22nd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Could Beterbiev’s Next Fight After The Dmitry Bivol Rematch Be Against ‘Canelo’?
Although the Artur Beterbiev next fight sees him take on Dmitry Bivol for a second time, fans are already looking beyond that and who the 39-year-old could fight after the Bivol rematch.
One name being mentioned is Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. This fight has been talked about on more than one occasion, and could well come to fruition at the back end of 2025. If so, it could be one of the biggest and best fights of all time.
Depending on the result of the Bivol rematch, there could also be a trilogy. If Bivol is to win the rematch and settle the score at 1-1, then it would make total sense to run the trilogy late in 2025. However, if Beterbiev wins again and makes it 2-0, then the ‘Canelo‘ fight could genuinely happen.
These seem like the only real logical options for Artur Beterbiev’s next fight, after the Bivol rematch. Time will tell if this is the case and whether Artur Beterbiev’s next fight is indeed against the Mexican cash cow, a trilogy with Bivol or if his next fight could even be his last.
The best boxing betting sites in the UK would likely favour Beterbiev against ‘Canelo’, given the huge size and punch power advantage. Firstly, he must beat Dmitry Bivol for a second time in Saudi Arabia on February 22nd.
