The boxing world is abuzz with anticipation as two formidable Russian fighters prepare to meet once again inside the ring. This Saturday, February 22, the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will host a thrilling rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. The event promises to be a spectacle of power and skill, featuring not only this highly anticipated contest but also several other championship bouts. As fans gear up for an unforgettable night of boxing, all eyes are on whether Beterbiev can maintain his undefeated status or if Bivol can secure a historic victory.

This encounter marks a significant moment in both boxers' careers. Beterbiev, now 39 years old, has built an impressive record of 21 victories, with 20 by knockout. However, his streak came to an end when he faced Bivol previously, resulting in a decision win rather than a KO. Despite this, Beterbiev remains the reigning WBA light heavyweight champion and aims to defend his title against his compatriot. On the other hand, Bivol, at 33, boasts a record of 22 wins and just one loss—against Beterbiev. With a slight height advantage and longer reach, Bivol must leverage these attributes to gain the upper hand over his seasoned opponent.

Beyond the main event, the evening offers more excitement. British boxer Daniel Dubois will defend his IBF heavyweight title against former world champion Joseph Parker. Meanwhile, Shakur Stevenson will battle Floyd Schofield for the WBC lightweight crown, while Carlos Adames faces Hamzah Sheeraz for the WBC middleweight title. Vergil Ortiz Jr. will challenge Israil Madrimov for the interim WBC super welterweight belt, and Zhang Zhilei takes on Agit Kabayel for the vacant interim WBC heavyweight title. Joshua Buatsi rounds out the card with a fight against Callum Smith for the interim WBO light heavyweight title.

In the United States, boxing enthusiasts can catch the action starting at 11:00 AM Eastern Time (8:00 AM Pacific Time). The main event is scheduled to kick off around 6:00 PM Eastern Time (3:00 PM Pacific Time). Fans can watch the fights via DAZN's pay-per-view service. As the day approaches, excitement continues to build, promising an epic night of combat sports.
