Beterbiev will not be remaching Bivol, instead fighting Deon Nicholson

I don't know if that will be the case, we'll see what happens after November 22nd. In any case, as I wrote above, for Beterbiev, if he beats Nicholson, I still see a third match against Bivol as likely.

 

I read a report where the IBF has ordered Bivol to defend against something called Michael Eifert, I think he's Cuban with a record of 13-1 5 ko's who's claim to fame is a decision win over 40 year old Jean Pascal .That is just so sad on many levels.

 

Isn't Bivol recovering from surgery or something? I read somewhere he wasn't able to fight Benvidez OR Beterbiev before 2026 due to injury

 

The only problem is that it looks like AI art, not that it was made by AI per se. I can create pictures that look man made with AI.

Bivol–Beterbiev III anytime. It deserves a trilogy. Also, Bivol beating Beterbiev is a much greater achievement than any single win Usyk has.

 

I would say both are problems but I don't want to ruin this thread by taking it more off topic than I already have. I agree that a trilogy fight would be cool but I don't think I'm on board with Bivol beating Beterbiev being more impressive than any single win Usyk has.
