Over an 11 year professional career, King Artur has vanquished every one of his opponents by knockout. The only time he's even seen the 12th round was back in 2017 when he beat Enrico Kölling to win his first world title.
It's a remarkable record, but one that is unlikely to intimidate Bivol too profoundly. In his shorter career, he has more wins to his name than Beterbiev and has been a world champion even longer. Plus, he has that famous scalp of generational fighter Canelo Álvarez on his resume.
What makes the fight so salivating is that there's barely anything to give between these two men. Height and reach is more or less equal, and the weigh-in (which you can watch below) revealed only three pounds difference. And the bookies can't seem to decide either, with Bivol only marginal favorite to unify the division for the first time since Roy Jones Jr. a quarter of a century ago.
Below, we'll show you how to watch Beterbiev vs Bivol live streams from anywhere, as well as where to see the stacked undercard. Plus, we provide all the details of a packed card and the all-important tale of the tape.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the boxing on your usual subscription?
You can still watch Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
