Bivol told about the mood for the fight with Beterbiev

WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol gave comments on the upcoming fight with Artur Beterbiev, who holds the other titles in the division.

"Obviously, it's a fight for the title of absolute champion, the stakes are appropriate. You know, I always take my fights very seriously and I can't say that I haven't done well before because I always try to be in the best shape, I try to work hard every time, and at the same time we always have different opponents, different styles.

The closer the fight gets, the more you want to eat more and more, because you're holding on and trying to hit your weight. And, of course, morally you become more ready and focused to have a perfect fight," said Bivol.

Recall that Bivol and Beterbiev will fight on October 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
