Bivol Fights Eifert in Russia, Not Beterbiev!
26 May
Summary
- Dmitry Bivol will defend unified light-heavyweight titles Saturday.
- The champion faces Michael Eifert in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
- Fans await trilogy with Beterbiev or bout with Benavidez.
Unified light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol will defend his titles this Saturday, May 30th. The bout, which was not the highly anticipated trilogy clash against Artur Beterbiev, will see Bivol face German contender Michael Eifert. This championship fight takes place on Bivol's home soil at the UMMC Arena in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The main card is slated to commence at 4 PM BST, with main-event ring walks expected from 6:45 PM BST.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting a potential third match against Beterbiev or a bout with David Benavidez. However, Beterbiev has been inactive since his previous encounter with Bivol, and Benavidez recently competed at cruiserweight. Despite these alternatives, both Beterbiev and Benavidez reportedly remain interested in facing Bivol in the future. The entire event will be available for streaming worldwide exclusively on DAZN, with subscription plans starting at £15.99 per month.
