IBF, WBC, and WBO light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) came on late to defeat WBA champion Dmitry Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) by a 12-round majority decision on Saturday night at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The official weights are in for tomorrow night’s bitter grudge match between British middleweights Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith. Both men tipped in at 159 pounds on the nose, and both guys have clearly put the work in in the gym.
Joseph Parker (30-3, 21 KOs) will be fighting cruiserweight Jack Massey (20-1, 11 KOs) next month on January 21st at the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
