Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 takes place on Saturday February 22, 2025 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - the same venue as for the first fight back in October.
The WBC’s interim super-welterweight champion Vergil Ortiz Jr meets Israil Madrimov, while Zhilei ‘Big Bang’ Zhang and Agit Kabayel compete for the interim WBC heavyweight title and there’s a great all-British showdown between Callum Smith and Joshua Buatsi for the interim WBO light-heavyweight title.
Four months have passed now since the two Russian light-heavyweights clashed in a much-anticipated and delayed showdown in the Middle East, with Beterbiev earning a contentious majority-decision victory to become the division’s first undisputed king of the four-belt era and first since the great Roy Jones Jr back in 2002.
TV channel and live stream: In the UK, Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 is being shown live on DAZN at a cost of £19.99, plus Sky Sports Box Office for £19.95 and TNT Sports Box Office for £19.99.
Bivol fought very smartly in the first fight, showing all of his technical and tactical nous while at the same time being rightly wary of Beterbiev’s formidable reputation as one of boxing’s most devastating punchers that had previously seen him win all of his 20 professional contests by knockout.
