British boxer Dan Aziz, who is one of the sparring partners of WBC, WBO and IBF champion Artur Beterbiev in this division, believes that the Canadian will have time to fully recover from a knee injury in time for his scheduled October 12 fight against WBA titleholder Dmitry Bivol.
"Will Beterbiev be ready? His team wouldn't have agreed to October if they didn't believe in it. There's no way it would have happened. They're taking their time and waiting. If they strip him of the belt, so be it, but his team is meticulous and believes he'll be fine by then," Aziz was quoted by Boxing Scene as saying.
