Initially, Bivol's opponent at the upcoming boxing evening was supposed to be the holder of the other prestigious belts in the division Artur Beterbiev, but the Canadian was injured and out for an extended period of time.
"It's a normal situation when one of the fighters gets injured. I just tried not to think too much about it and kept other options in my mind. I ended up getting them. Right now, until Saturday, I need to forget about Beterbiev.
Of course, I believe this fight will happen. I'll do everything I can to be ready for it," Bivol said in an interview with Title Sports Network.
