    I don't think either is the type of guy to duck a fight.

    I reckon it's promoter politics unfortunately.

    Said this months ago: no one cares about this fight outside of hardcore fans and those with ethnic/religious ties to either Bivol or Betetbiev

    It's sad but people want Bivol-Canelo 2 @ 168 and Beterbiev-Smiff

    There isn't the money for the fight to happen right now. Expect Saudi to make a deal soon especially with Beterbiev being Muslim. Beterbiev has a mandatory in Callum Smith so Bivol will rematch Canelo in September. Not ducking. I expect the fight to happen in 2024 though as Beterbiev will likely face another mandatory in Stepien at the end of the year.

    Don't think it will ever get made. Please prove me wrong.
