Artur Beterbiev’s rematch with Dmitry Bivol on a bill featuring Daniel Dubois’ IBF heavyweight title clash with Joseph Parker on February 22 will be live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Beterbiev, the undisputed bantamweight champion of the world, fights Bivol once again after handing the former WBA titleholder his first professional loss in October to unify all four major belts.
Bivol became the first professional opponent to go the distance with the fearsome puncher Beterbiev and he wants revenge for his controversial decision loss as well as the chance to win the IBF, WBC, WBO and WBA world championships.
In the same event of the Riyadh season, live Sky Sports Box Office, Daniel Dubois returns to action after securing an emphatic knockout victory over British boxing superstar Anthony Joshua inside five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September.
Dubois became the IBF interim titleholder for the first time when he defeated Filip Hrgovic in June. His status was elevated to full world champion when Oleksandr Usyk’s engagement in his December 21 rematch with Tyson Fury caused him to vacate that belt.
Parker will be a serious challenge for him.
The New Zealander is a former world champion himself and has been pushing for another title with a string of exciting wins, notably upsetting former WBC champion Deontay Wilder last year and then beating Zhilei Zhang to win interim WBO title.
