"He's a good boxer. I can't call him the best opponent of my career until I fight him. We'll see how he fights. I'm not in the best shape yet, but I'll be in the best shape during the fight. Will I be able to knock out Bivol? We'll see," Beterbiev stated.
The fight between Beterbiev and Bivol will take place on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At stake in this fight will be the title of absolute world champion in the heavyweight division.
