Bivol: “Talking about Beterbiev was distracting”

Undefeated WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol spoke about his attitude towards numerous conversations among journalists and fans about potential fights before the meeting with Lyndon Arthur.

Let us remind you that on December 23 in Riyadh, Bivol defeated Arthur by unanimous decision.

“Of course, every time we are distracted with different information. This time I was already prepared to talk about Beterbiev, and they started asking me about moving to cruiserweight! Guys, don't bother me! I can’t look that far ahead. But a champion must be prepared for such things. A real champion must discard all information that is unnecessary for him now,” Bivol said in an interview with Boxing News.
