The unified heavyweight boxing world champion Artur Beterbiev made the first statement after the fight against WBA belt holder Dmitry Bivol was canceled.

The fight for the title of absolute champion was scheduled for June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but was postponed due to a meniscus tear in the Canadian boxer.

"Dear friends, welcome everyone. Unfortunately, injuries in professional sports are not at all uncommon and no one is immune to them. I sincerely did not want the upcoming fight to be postponed, but the doctors insisted on the postponement.
