Beterbiev-Bivol 2 Betting Odds

Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) returns to the ring for a highly anticipated rematch against Dmitry Bivol this Saturday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (DAZN PPV, 11 a.m. ET). Beterbiev narrowly edged Bivol by majority decision last October to claim the WBA title and add it to his collection of WBC, WBO and IBF belts.

That victory marked the first time Beterbiev had to go the distance, ending an impressive 20-fight knockout streak. Despite having reigned as a world champion since Nov. 11, 2017—a span of more than seven years—Beterbiev expressed dissatisfaction with his performance against Bivol and vowed to improve. Saturday’s bout will serve as his 10th defense of the IBF title, seventh of the WBC, fourth of the WBO, and first of the WBA.

Beterbiev enters the rematch as a slight favorite at -120, according to ESPN BET, while Bivol stands at -105. In the co-main event, IBF heavyweight titleholder Daniel Dubois makes his second defense against former champion Joseph Parker. The winner could potentially move on to challenge Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
