The date of the fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev has been announced

The fight for the title of absolute world champion in boxing in the heavyweight division between the Russians Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will take place on June 1 in the capital of Saudi Arabia Riyadh.

This was reported by well-known sports journalist Dan Rafael with reference to the organizers of the match.

“Contracts for the fight for the title of absolute world champion between Bivol and Beterbiev have not yet been signed, but the bout is scheduled for the first of June and will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,” – wrote the reporter.

Artur Beterbiev successfully defended his WBC, IBF and WBO titles two weeks ago with an early win over Britain’s Callum Smith, whose corner refused to continue the fight in the seventh round.

Dmitry Bivol defended his WBA championship belt at the end of last year, and also picked up the IBO title by defeating Briton Lyndon Arthur by unanimous decision over twelve rounds at a boxing night in Riyadh.
