Bivol will fight in the undercard of Usyk

The fight is scheduled as part of a grand boxing evening, with the main event being a match between heavyweight leader Oleksandr Usyk and kickboxer Rico Verhoeven.

The organizers intentionally chose a historical location against the backdrop of the famous Giza pyramids, which will add a unique atmosphere to the event and attract the attention of a world audience.

For Bivol, this fight will be his first after more than a year-long break: in February last year, he won against Artur Beterbiev and unified all major belts in the division. Later, the Russian relinquished the WBC title in favor of David Benavidez.
