It is expected that the fight for the title of absolute world champion will take place in early summer in Saudi Arabia.
“Of course, I watched Beterbiev with Smith. And I wasn’t very surprised, to be honest. Arthur was as good as I expected from him. I didn't see anything new. He was powerful and did his job well.
We all people. Each of us has strengths and weaknesses. We saw when Beterbiev was not very good. My job is to create as many uncomfortable situations for him as possible during the fight. I just need to get the job done. And I know I can win if I train well,” Bivol said in an interview with The Matchroom Boxing.
