The boxing bout between boxers Dmitry Bivol and Arthur Beterbiev will take place on 22 February next year in Riyadh, said the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia Turki Al al-Sheikh.
Recall that Bivol lost to Beterbiev on 13 October due to a decision made by the judges. Then, many spectators considered the victory of the champion unconvincing, and Bivol immediately started talking about a possible rematch on the team.
Analysts predict that boxers have equal chances to win. Despite the October defeat, Bivol is six years younger than his opponent. For him, victory will be an opportunity to prove his right to the title ahead of schedule.
Journalists assume that the fee for each fight participant will be twice as high as in October. Back then, the boxers received $10m each.
Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports that Uzbek boxer Isroil Madrimov will step into the ring against American Virgil Ortiz.
