Event Preview & predictions
On Saturday night, boxing fans are finally treated to a fight that the purists have been clamoring for for some time. Two undefeated fighters, both holding two belts finally battling to claim the undisputed crown.
On one side you have Artur Beterbiev, the power puncher, holding a record of 20-0 with all 20 wins coming via knockout. Despite being 39 years old he is still in great physical shape and it is hard to look past him against anyone in this division.
In the other corner, Dmitry Bivol is considered the superior technical boxer of the two men but doesn’t possess the power that his opponent does. Bivol is also the younger of the two fighters and may be favored in the fight the longer it goes. The fight is fascinatingly poised and it is hard to choose a winner in this one. We predict that Dmitry Bivol will win by a narrow points decision.
Elsewhere on the card, there are several British fighters looking to impress when all eyes are on them this Saturday night in Riyadh. There is the highly anticipated heavyweight clash between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke to look forward to, as well as Chris Eubank Jr and up and coming prospect Ben Whittaker.
