Arum made an accurate prediction for the Beterbiev vs. Bivol fight

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

"It's a terrific fight, but I don't believe anyone at flyweight is capable of containing Beterbiev for all 12 rounds. As a boxer he's a lot better than people think he is. Once he backs you into a corner, it's over. He just beats the hell out of you.

So I like Beterbiev. Of course I'm biased, but we need to see the fight. I mean, it's a great fight. Beterbiev has 19 fights and 19 early wins. I believe he will win early," Arum said in an interview with the YouTube channel Cornerman Boxing.

Recall that the fight between Beterbiev and Bivol will be held on October 12 in Saudi Arabia.
