Bivol vs Beterbiev Betting Odds Fight Information

On Saturday, October 12, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, boxing fans will witness a highly anticipated showdown between WBC, WBO, and IBF champion Artur Beterbiev and WBA titleholder Dmitry Bivol. The two light heavyweight champions will battle to unify all four major 175-pound belts in what promises to be an explosive clash (ESPN+, 6 p.m. ET).

Originally scheduled for June 1, this fight was postponed after Beterbiev suffered a ruptured meniscus and underwent knee surgery. Bivol (23-0, 12 KOs), rather than waiting for the rescheduled bout, stayed active and faced Malik Zinad on the original date, securing a sixth-round TKO victory—his only stoppage win in his last 10 fights.
