Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are set to clash in a highly anticipated showdown to determine the undisputed light-heavyweight world champion on June 1 in Saudi Arabia. Beterbiev initially ascended to the throne of true world champion status by delivering a knockout blow to Enrico Kolling, securing the IBF crown in 2018. Meanwhile, Bivol's journey to championship glory saw him holding the WBA 'regular' belt for a significant period before being elevated to the position of the genuine WBA light-heavyweight world champion in 2019. Adding to the intrigue, Beterbiev further solidified his dominance in the division by halting Oleksandr Gvozdyk to claim the WBC title shortly thereafter.
