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. There's good reason why the 33-year-old is being touted as marginal favorite to unify the division for the first time since Roy Jones Jr. a quarter of a century ago.

The press conference (which you can watch further down this page) was reverential enough from both corners, but it will be all business when this pair headlines a stacked fight card in Riyadh on Saturday.

Below, we'll show you how to watch Beterbiev vs Bivol live streams from anywhere. Plus, we provide all the details of a packed card and the all-important tale of the tape.

Saturday's card is split across two streaming services in the U.S.

If all you want to watch is a Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol live stream then you'll need ESPN Plus. It costs $10.99/month or you can save over 15% by signing up for a year for $109.99. Or combine it with Disney Plus and Hulu for a great value $14.99/month. For the avoidance of doubt, ESPN Plus is not showing any fights on the undercard.

The rest of the stacked card (excluding Beterbiev vs Bivol) that you can see in full below will be shown on sports streaming service DAZN, costing from $19.99/month.

Remember, if you already use those services but aren't in the U.S. right now, you can watch the boxing by using a VPN such as NordVPN.

Although the main card for this Saturday's fight night will be shown on DAZN north of the border, the streamer will not show the main event.

In fact, no broadcasters or streaming services are currently listed as showing the Beterbiev vs Bivol fight in Canada.

So if you're not bothered about the headline bout and want to watch the rest, you can do so with a regular DAZN subscription. After a recent price rise DAZN now costs $34.99/month, although you can save a little by buying annually ($249 upfront or £299 if you pay on a monthly basis). DAZN has apps on pretty much every streaming platform around.

Not in Canada but want to live stream Beterbiev vs Bivol? You'll need to get yourself a knockout boxing VPN, such as NordVPN, and watch on an overseas streaming service.
