Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev are finally set to fight in a potential light-heavyweight megafight. Recently, Beterbiev defended his WBC, IBF, and WBO light-heavyweight titles against Callum Smith. Subsequently, Beterbiev delivered a stellar performance against a former world champion. After finishing Smith in the seventh round, Beterbiev declared his intent to become the undisputed champion.

He announced that the fight might happen in July 2024. Furthermore, as fans wait for the highly anticipated, undisputed light-heavyweight fight, they compare the two fighters.
