Dmitry Bivol is working out, training in the snow for his fight in 68 days against undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev on February 22, 2025, in Riyadh.

Bivol, 33, needs to increase his punch output in the match, not as much around the ring as in the first fight. It seems that many fans like him are running away from the fight, and it seems that Bivol is recovering from the 12-round contest.

Bivol's Minimalist Way

In his loss to Beterbiev, it looked like Bivol was trying to get a small win by doing little and hoping the judges would award the win in his favor. small way.

Former WBA 175-lb champion Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) lost to Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) by a 12-round majority decision two months ago in on October 12th. The judges scored it 115-113, 116-112 for Beterbiev, and 114-114.

Due to fan interest, the promoters, Eddie Hearn at Matchroom & Top Rank and Turki Alalshikh, Bivol, are getting another match.

In the video, Bivol uses a number of tricks and moves his upper body to avoid the imaginary shots he received from Beterbiev on February 22nd.

Enter to Win

Hopefully, Bivol will come to the fight this time because he did not want to engage with Beterbiev when he started to struggle from the sixth round. It was hard to watch the last time.

Bivol is aggressive when he fights against smaller fighters, but he seems scared against Beterbiev. We saw the same thing from Bivol when Lyndon Arthur injured him in the eighth round of their fight on December 23, 2023. Bivol got on his bike and stayed for the last four rounds to win a decision. He looked scared of Arthur.
