WBC, WBO and IBF champion Artur Beterbiev will face WBA titleholder Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed light heavyweight championship this Sat. night (Oct. 12, 2024) at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the winner unifying the 175-pound straps for the very first time in the four-belt era.
The card will stream LIVE on the ESPN+ digital network at 6 p.m. ET.
“When I signed a contract to be a pro boxer, I had a goal to become undisputed champion,” Bivol said at the kickoff press conference back in April. “Everything that I have gone through has been for that. I did it to achieve my goal. Even the fight against Canelo, it was my ticket for big fights. And now I’m happy that I will have this fight on June 1 for all the belts. I believe I can be undisputed champion.”
