WBC light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol made it clear that he is now about to fight with the owner of all other belts in the division Artur Beterbiev closer than ever.
“We met with WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman, we talked. And we found a way to arrange a fight against Beterbiev. Suleiman told us how to do this. Now there is no big problem for our fight to take place.
Of course we will take advantage of this opportunity. But first I have to defeat Lyndon Arthur, and then we’ll talk about the absolute championship,” Bivol said in an interview with the Boxing Social YouTube channel.
