Arum made a bold prediction for the Bivol vs. Beterbiev fight

Bob Arum, promoter of WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, believes his charge will defeat WBA titleholder Dmitry Bivol early in their upcoming unification bout.

"I like Beterbiev because I think he is a more powerful puncher. Surprisingly, he's a good boxer. Maybe Bivol is better as a boxer, but Beterbiev is a good boxer. I think Beterbiev will wear him down and knock him out," Arum said in an interview with YouTube channel Boxing News.

Recall that the bout Beterbiev vs. Bivol will take place on October 12 in Saudi Arabia. Initially their fight was scheduled for June 1, but it had to be postponed due to a meniscus injury in Arthur.
