Saudi’s Unexpected Proposal For Dmitry Bivol's Next fight Does Not Involve Artur Beterbiev
Dmitry Bivol, continuing to be recognized as one of the best active boxers today, has revealed a surprising new opponent suggested by the Saudi’s for his next bout. While many anticipated a showdown with Artur Beterbiev, the Saudi’s have someone else in mind. After recovering from a hand injury, Bivol returned to the ring on the Day of Reckoning, dominating Lyndon Arthur to defend his WBA world light heavyweight title and claim the IBO belt. Despite his aggressive start, Bivol settled for a unanimous points win, showcasing his prowess in the ring. While last year's victories over Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Gilberto Ramirez elevated Bivol's pound-for-pound status, the undisputed showdown with the winner of Callum Smith versus Artur Beterbiev seemed imminent. However, a twist emerges as the Saudi Chairman expresses interest in a different opponent, Jai Opetaia. In an interview with Boxing Social, Bivol discloses the Saudi Chairman's proposal but indicates his focus on his current weight division. He mentions the possibility of moving up in the future but remains committed to his present weight class. Opetaia's manager hints at a Saudi Arabia showdown for the former cruiserweight champion, possibly on the undercard of the Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk undisputed heavyweight contest. The unexpected turn adds an intriguing layer to Bivol's next move, leaving fans eager to witness the unfolding saga in the world of boxing. #DmitryBivol #JaiOpetaia #Boxingnews #boxing
