Artur Beterbiev will do battle with Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed light-heavyweight title, and Chris Eubank Jr is set to make his long-awaited return against Polish fighter Kamil Szeremeta
Boxing is set to crown an undisputed light-heavyweight champion in a super showdown in Saudi Arabia tonight, as Artur Beterbiev takes on Dmitry Bivol in Riyadh.
Beterbiev, who fights out of Canada, holds the IBF world light-heavyweight title, as well as the WBC world light-heavyweight and WBO world light-heavyweight title too. Bivol holds the IBO title, and the 33-year-old has a real challenge on his hands against the 39-year-old fellow Russian fighter. Upcoming opponent Szeremeta is currently undefeated in his last six encounters, with the 34-year-old boasting a 25-2-2 record. However, the Polish fighter's two defeats were by knockout - something that Eubank Jr is somewhat of a specialist in.
There is a stacked undercard in the lead-up to this fight, with a British showdown between Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron in the light-heavyweight round, as well as Australian Jai Opetaia taking on Derbyshire's Jack Massey for the IBF Cruiserweight world title.
