- They headlined a stacked card that included Chris Eubank Jr and Ben Whittaker
- The highly anticipated fight will take place in Riyadh on Saturday, October 12
Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol finally meet in the ring this weekend for a chance to become the undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world.
The monstrous fight between the two boxing powers has been eagerly anticipated for several years after the coveted clash between the two suffered delays.
The two Russian-born boxers were scheduled to face off in June, but their date in Saudi Arabia was canceled after Beterbiev suffered a torn meniscus just a month after the fight.
Bivol finally faced 30-year-old Malik Zinad in the June clash in Saudi Arabia, where he made an impressive defense of his WBA light-heavyweight title with a sixth-round KO.
The WBA light-heavyweight title holder now gets his original fight against Beterbiev next Saturday for the undisputed 12-round clash against the IBF, WBC and WBO belt holder.
