Russian boxer Artur Beterbiev said that in the fight for the title of absolute world light heavyweight champion against Dmitry Bivol, he was unable to deliver one strong blow, which would have been decisive.
The fight took place on October 12 in Riyadh. The fight lasted all 12 rounds. Beterbiev won by decision of the judges. Now he owns the WBA, IBO, WBC, IBF and WBO belts.
— Is Bivol your most serious rival?
– If you consider him a strong opponent, since I did not defeat him ahead of schedule, then, please, you can consider him a strong opponent.
— Dmitry Bivol has a bruise. What blow did you injure him with? Can we say that this determined the course of the fight?
– I’m afraid to seem arrogant. But I never landed a good and strong blow. There were blows, but something didn’t work out. This is not frustrating – the main thing is victory.
— What is it like to be an absolute world champion?
— I don’t like to show my emotions. I’m happy not so much for myself as for those who were rooting for me and came here. For all the fans. Especially for my mother,” a Match TV correspondent reports from the scene.
The rivals approached the battle undefeated. Now Beterbiev has 21 victories, Bivol has 23 won fights and one defeat.

“The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC” – Tsarukyan
UFC lightweight number one Arman Tsarukyan said that he does not yet consider a potential grappling fight with the promotion’s welterweight champion Islam Makhachev to be realistic.
On Tuesday, Tsarukyan and Sharabutdin Magomedov, known by his nickname Shara Bullet, ended in a draw in a grappling bout in Yerevan.
— The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC. I don’t think anyone can afford to pay him that amount,” Red Corner MMA quotes Tsarukyan as saying.

Former world heavyweight champion, British Tyson Rage I am sure that WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk will leave his belt vacant due to the lack of interesting opponents:
“Usyk will not fight opponents ranked in the WBC because it is impossible to make good money from these fights. How much money will he make by fighting Agit Kabayel or Lawrence Okolie?”
Frankly, these are insufficient. After making a ton of money fighting Tyson Fury, you don’t want to go back to fights that have no financial benefit.
Usik will therefore give up his WBC title and Agit Kabayel will become the full world champion. He will be able to defend against (German boxer) Okolie or Moses Itauma,” Fury said on the DAZN platform.
Kabayel’s next opponent will be Poland’s undefeated representative Damian Knyba. The fight for the WBC interim title will take place in Germany on January 10.

The incident occurred on Monday along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The Lexus SUV Joshua was in collided with a stationary truck.
