March 20 may become a new date for the fight of Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) and Adam Deines (19-1-1, 10 KOs). The meeting will be held at the Megasport Arena in Moscow. Initially, the fight could have taken place on October 23, but the Russian received a rib injury. Later, the battle was postponed to December 11, then to January 30. The January deadline had to be changed because Beterbiev was infected with the coronavirus.
At stake there will be the IBF and WBC light heavyweight championship belts belonging to the Russian.
The last time Beterbiev fought was in October 2019, defeating Oleksandr Gvozdyk. After this fight, the Ukrainian decided to hang up his gloves and ended his professional career.
