"It's hard to reach a new level at 40 years old. But Beterbiev was still more aggressive than in the first fight. But Bivol was ready for it and did a good job. Bivol had a stable fight. In the first fight he had good rounds and rounds in which he had to take a break. And Beterbiev was equally active. This time Bivol spent powerfully the whole fight, was focused all 12 rounds. That's why he is the champion now," Gvozdik said in an interview with Manuk Hakobyan.
Recall that on February 22, Bivol defeated Beterbiev by majority decision and became the new absolute champion in the light heavyweight division.
