“Good sparring” – Bivol assessed the outcome of the fight with Arthur for the WBA world title

Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol called the fight for the WBA world title with Briton Lyndon Arthur “a good sparring” and said that the International Boxing Organization (IBO) championship belt means nothing to him.

Bivol defeated Briton Lyndon Arthur and defended the WBA world light heavyweight title, and also won the International Boxing Organization (IBO) championship belt. The fight between Bivol and Arthur took place in Riyadh on Saturday and lasted all 12 rounds. Bivol won by unanimous decision (120 – 107 – all three judges).

– It was a good sparring. I’m glad I got this fight at the end of the year. And now I see the path to my goal. I hope that my fight with the winner of the Beterbiev-Callum Smith fight will take place in 2024.

— What does the IBO champion title mean to you?

“For me, this is the eleventh defense.” IBO belt? It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a belt,” Bivol said immediately after the fight.

Bivol is 33 years old, an undefeated boxer with 22 victories, 11 of which by knockout. For the Russian, this fight was the first in 2023. 32-year-old Arthur now has two defeats and 23 wins (16 knockouts).
