“The fight against Rammirez was brewing and a lot was said,” Bivol said. “Now we have a chance to take care of everything with our direct actions in the ring, and not with words spoken outside of it.”
“I am happy that this fight will finally take place, despite all the obstacles,” says Ramirez. — It took a long time, and I’m looking forward to a great evening on November 5th. I would fight Bivol anywhere, including Mars, but I know we will put on a great show in Abu Dhabi.”
Earlier, Ramirez shared his conquering plans for the future: “First Bivol, then Beterbiev.”
