Artur Beterbiev is the undisputed light-heavyweight champion following his majority points win over Dmitry Bivol in Saudi Arabia.
In a fight that was expected to see Beterbiev’s pressure go up against the skill of Bivol, that’s exactly how it played out.
Bivol fought well in parts with his excellent jab, but the aggression of Beterbiev appeared to be the deciding factor as he was given the nod on the scorecards.
With Beterbiev taking the last three rounds from all the judges, his strong finish ensured that he became the first ever four-belt champion at 175lbs.
