Bivol Back: Elbow Surgery Success Fuels Ring Return
24 Jul
Summary
- Unified champion Dmitry Bivol underwent successful elbow surgery.
- He aims for a major superfight upon his return.
- Potential opponents include Beterbiev or Benavidez.
Unified light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol is on the road to recovery following successful elbow surgery. This marks his return after a lengthy 15-month layoff due to prior back surgery.
Bivol's team is reportedly targeting a major superfight upon his return, potentially forgoing a mandatory defense against Callum Smith. Promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated a strong desire to make a trilogy bout with Artur Beterbiev happen, a fight Bivol himself desires.
Beterbiev, who is currently a free agent, holds a 1-1 record against Bivol from their previous two encounters. Bivol's recent win over Michael Eifert in May allowed him to maintain his championship status.
