"It's important". Beterbiev revealed whether he plans to knockout Bivol

WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev spoke about the upcoming fight with WBA titleholder Dmitry Bivol.

Yesterday, April 15, at a press conference in London, it was announced that the fight for the title of absolute champion in the category up to 79.4 kg will take place on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"A knockout? It's important, but I won't be looking for it. We'll see what happens. As for age, I'm not old, I'm only 39 years old. I believe I'll prepare 100 percent, but I can't claim I'll do anything in the fight. Every fight is different. You prepare differently for every fight. I don't study my opponent for a long time, I've only recently watched a few fights with his participation. We will prepare," Beterbiev said.
