Artur Beterbiev will attempt to go two-for-two against Dmitry Bivol this Saturday (Feb. 22, 2025) inside Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on DAZN as the co-headlining act to one of the most stacked boxing cards ever.
Beterbiev handed Bivol his lone loss in Oct. 2024 via majority decision, leaving several people feeling that the decision should have gone the other way. Regardless, Bivol now has the chance to make things right for himself by winning back the titles in one of the most-anticipated rematches in recent memory.
And there’s another big prize waiting around the corner for the victor, because he will likely face off against “The Mexican Monster” David Benavidez, who is undefeated at 30-0 with 24 knockouts. He also holds the WBA Regular Light Heavyweight belt.
First things first, Beterbiev and Bivol have a score to settle in Riyadh. That said, let’s dive in and take a look the particulars to compare each combatant’s height, weight and other important attributes ahead of their highly-anticipated showdown later today.
