In theory, if I didn’t know that they had sparred before I would pick Bivol.”Because Beterbiev is a puncher, and if he can hit Bivol, he’ll knock him out for sure. Because to me, Beterbiev is one of the best pound-for-pound punchers this game has ever seen. If he can hurt Bivol with his punches, if he can catch him then he has a chance. READ MORE SUN STORIES”So that being said, Beterbiev is a good puncher, but I don’t know if he takes a good punch because he’s been down three or four times in nearly twenty fights. If you’ve been down that much in twenty fights, there’s a problem there. “I really think Bivol has the advantage and I’ll go with him.”  More

    Is there a rematch clause for Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol?

    ARTUR BETERBIEV takes on Dmitry Bivol this weekend with all the gold at light-heavyweight on the line. Whoever wins will became the latest on a short line of men’s undisputed boxing champions in the four-belt era, joining the likes of Oleksandr Usyk, Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez. 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
