The pair will meet on the "Day of Reckoning" card in Saudi Arabia, and for Bivol it will be his first fight of the year. The 32-year-old was most recently in the ring in November 2022, when he came up against Gilberto Ramírez and won by unanimous decision.

Looking to take Bivol's championship is Arthur, who is preparing for his third event of 2023. The Briton secured the vacant IBO light heavyweight title in his most recent fight, a 10th-round stoppage win up against Braian Nahuel Suarez.
