Top Rank spokesman Carl Moretti said that his company is extremely interested in Arthur Beterbiev in his next battle fought with Dmitry Bivol for the title of absolute champion for the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO light heavyweight titles. According to Moretti, they plan to contact Bivol's team in the near future to try to organize this fight.

“We know Bivol and his team very well, so we will contact them to try to make this fight next,” said Carl Moretti. - We haven't had any negotiations yet, we wanted to go through this fight first. The only reluctance I see is Canelo's promise. But Bivol is a real fighter, he's already beaten Canelo once and the only way to unify the light heavyweight title is to fight Arthur and I think that's what everyone needs. We would like to do it in the summer. Arthur is a devout Muslim, so he will have Ramadan, so the fight will probably take place in the summer."

“Bivol is a good fight for me,” Beterbiev said about the WBA champion. "If we can arrange it, let's do it." This is one of the biggest fights you can have right now, one of the biggest fights in the sport. I appreciate the mandatory contenders, but when you have the opportunity to completely unify the titles of two such fighters, you need to take it.
