According to insider Mike Coppinger, the Canadian boxer has a torn meniscus. It is expected that he will not be able to return to the ring until September.
The information was later confirmed by the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority in Saudi Arabia, Turki Al Al-Sheikh:
"After receiving today's news about Beterbiev's injury, we will postpone this fight until later this year. I wish my brother Artur a speedy recovery. However, the 5 on 5 tournament will still take place on June 1," he wrote in X.
