Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol will clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this weekendCredit: GettyBeterbiev is undefeated, winning all of his 20 fights by knockout, while Bivol also has an unblemished record at 23-0. They’ve been on a collision course to fight for years, with Beterbiev holding the WBO, IBF and WBC belts while Bivol has the WBA strap in his possession. They were supposed to fight earlier this year in June but the fight was postponed after an injury to Beterbiev. But now they’re finally set to throw down, and fans are wondering if it’s possible we’ll see the fight more than once. Is there a Beterbiev vs Bivol rematch clause?According to Bivol’s promoter Eddie Hearn, there is NO rematch clause for his fight with Beterbiev. But Hearn refused to rule out a rematch entirely, hinting that if the fight was an entertaining one and there was public demand for it, a rematch could be made. But there are options for both Bivol and Beterbiev after this weekend’s clash. Bivol will always have the option to rematch Canelo Alvarez again and has stated he could move down to super-middleweight to do so. Most read in BoxingBeterbiev has also previously been linked with a fight against Alvarez, but is more likely to move up in weight to cruiserweight. The Russian, 39, could also hang up his gloves, win or lose, with an unbeaten record intact after cleaning out an entire division. If the fight between Bivol and Beterbiev is a close one, however, then expect a rematch, particularly if there’s controversy surrounding the result. More
