    Anyone else extremely frustrated with this non development.

    Most other divisions have seen a positive trend in the top guys fighting each other but here these two don't wanna know.

    Sick of the excuse that they can't earn enough money to pay both in a fight against each other.

    Just make the damn fight.

    I think bob arum is holding up this fight again to prefer inhouse fights or a canelo match up.
    We need some saudi money to make that fight happen but outside of real boxing fans this isnt in demand. Casuals are more excited about jake paul vs nate diaz. They dont know who beterbiev and bivol are.

    It’s not going to happen. Even if it gets scheduled, the p4p king of pulling out of fights Beterbiev will get injured in camp.

    Bivol and Beterbiev are both from the East.

    They should first beat all important Western fighters in the division. After that, they can fight each other.

    Bivols team is aging Beterbiev. That's the sad reality.

    Beterbiev is the one who unify and trying to fight best.

    Bivol is inactive

    Bivol and Arum have no intention of fighting Beterbiev until he is 40. Beterbiev said on a fight with Bivol "Let's do it". It's pretty obvious what is going on here. Bivol and his team don't want it.

    If I could have any fight right now, I’d pick Usyk vs Fury, but this fight to unify all the LHW belts would be my second choice.

    Who is the more likely ducker:
    The power puncher who brutalises everyone and is running out of time to get all the belts ...
    The smaller point fighter who is much younger and can play the waiting game, as well as chase Canelo money?
    I put all the blame on Bivol here.

    This will go down as a big one, a real tragic case if it don't happen, talked about at every layer of fan expertise on a similar level as Bowe vs Lennox. We'll even probably get a @Rumsfeld video on it in a few years time, if he can see the writing on the walls he's probably already whipping up a script and ignoring the angry hoard demanding a Carnera video like always. - I pray to whatever God that can force them to fight to be merciful on us weary fans.
