Fight of the Year in Riyadh: Bivol vs. Beterbiev – the decisive fight for the absolute championship!
This fight is the culmination of one of the most exciting and equal confrontations in modern boxing. In October 2024, the first fight took place. Artur Beterbiev, then undefeated holder of the WBC, IBF and WBO belts, proves his skills, defeating Bivol by decision in a tense fight. Then came the rematch. Dmitry Bivol demonstrates incredible will and tactical genius. In a fierce fight, he takes revenge, also winning on points, inflicting Beterbiev's first defeat in his career and taking away part of his championship regalia.
The final of the trilogy will take place on November 22, 2025. Everything is on the line! The winner will not only lead the division - he will become the first absolute world champion in the light heavyweight division in the era of 4 major organizations (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO), unifying all the major belts. History will be written in the ring in Riyadh.
Over the 24 rounds they fought against each other, Bivol and Beterbiev have studied each other to the smallest detail. Expect not just a fight, but high-level chess with fists, where every move, every mistake will be critical. They know the weaknesses and strengths of their opponents as if they were their own.
Artur Beterbiev (WBC, IBF) – unshakable power, destructive force in both hands, iron will. His goal is to prove that the first defeat was an accident and to regain what was lost. Dmitry Bivol (WBA Super, IBO, The Ring, WBO) – impeccable technique, phenomenal defense, verified work at a distance, boxing intelligence. He is determined to build on his victory and become a legend.
Riyadh is quickly becoming the boxing capital of the world, and the state-of-the-art ANB Arena is the perfect venue for such a historic event.
Given the series score, the stakes, the personal motivation, and the deep knowledge of each other, the third fight promises to be the most brutal, intense, and spectacular in their entire trilogy. No one will back down. No one will surrender.
Tickets for the Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev fight at anb Arena are now on sale. Given the status of the event and the limited number of seats at the prestigious ANB Arena, we strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance.
A fight for the absolute championship is the rarest and most prestigious achievement in boxing. The winner will go down in history as the first "undisputed" king of the light heavyweights in many years!
