Former two-weight world champion Bernard Hopkins believes that the holder of the WBC, WBO, IBF belts in the light heavyweight division Artur Beterbiev It's very difficult to get a big fight due to the fact that many potential opponents are afraid of it.
"Beterbiev is a beast. One of the reasons why he can't get a big fight is because he's dangerous. This generation of fighters - not all of them, but most of them - have one thing: they don't want to put a loss on their record list.
Of course they want a bag of money, but they don't pretend to be great. Most of them want to fight fights where they have a high chance of winning. When you talk to most boxers of this generation about history, they look at you like you have three heads,” Boxing Social quoted Hopkins as saying.
Let us remind you that on January 13, Beterbiev will fight with Callum Smith. The fight was supposed to take place back in August, but Arthur was diagnosed with a bone infection and had to undergo surgery.
