Former WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) became the new undisputed champion on Saturday night, beating previously undefeated champ Artur Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs) by a highly competitive 12-round majority decision in their clash at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The official weigh-in ahead of tomorrow night’s huge DAZN PPV card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has taken place, and the big men of the sport really did raise some eyebrows with their respective weights.
Unbeaten heavyweight contender Agit Kabayel is a known body puncher and plenty of experts feel the German’s efficiency at going to work downstairs will be his best tactic against the towering Zhilei Zhang, who 32 year old Kabayel will of course face as part of Saturday’s hugely stacked DAZN PPV card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Zhilei Zhang says he’s coming to “bang” unbeaten Agit Kabayel in their 12-round battle for the WBC interim heavyweight title this Saturday, February 22nd, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Promoter Eddie Hearn calls the February 22nd Riyadh Season card the “greatest night of boxing” the sport has seen. The headliner is the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, and the event will be shown live on DAZN.
Reigning heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk has already shown he can handle the big, big guys, with the Ukrainian now holding two wins over Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, and if the soon to be 38 year old doesn’t either retire or drop back down to the cruiserweight division – with both scenarios possible – Usyk could soon be facing another giant of a heavyweight.
The Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 Riyadh Season event on February 22nd will cost £19.99 for UK fans and $25.99 for U.S
Fight fans have doubtless seen the card, the mega-card, they will be treated to on February 22 of 2025, the card dubbed ‘The Last Crescendo’ to of course take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In an interesting move at heavyweight, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has told Sky Sports that the upcoming fight between Zhilei Zhang and Agit Kabayel will contest the WBC interim title.
