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).

UFC commentator Joe Rogan advised boxer-blogger Jake Paul to no longer fight with opponents of the level of former world champion Anthony Joshua.
On Friday, Paul lost to Joshua in the sixth round by knockout at a tournament in Miami. After the fight, the blogger was hospitalized with a broken jaw.
– I believe that a person can withstand a certain number of blows in the ring without serious consequences. Joshua’s knockout blow was terrible and equal to ten normal strong blows. Jake Paul took a lot of damage.
He shouldn’t continue like this for long because he’ll have to pay for it and it’s not worth it. Serious brain disorders lead to depression, which leads you to addiction. Many become gambling addicts, drug addicts, and alcoholics after finishing their boxing career. “Many people act hastily,” Rogan said on social networks.
Former WBA, WBO, IBF heavyweight champion, 2012 Olympic champion Joshua has 29 wins and four losses. Paul won 12 victories and suffered two defeats in the professional ring.
