Korean-Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol succeeded in defending the 11th title.
On the 24th (Korea Standard Time), Bivol won 3-0 against challenger Lyndon Arthur (UK) in the WBA light heavyweight title defense match at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Champion Bivol continued his unbeaten record of 22 wins (11KO) by winning his 11th defense.
Bivol opened his heyday last year by beating Canelo Alvarez (Mexico) and Gilberto Ramirez (Mexico), but he had left-handed surgery and was out of the game for a while.
Bivol, who entered the ring for the first time in a long time, led the 12-round match with fast footwork and jabs.
“I wanted KO, but I lacked confidence in my operated left hand,” Bivol said in an interview with ESPN after the game. 랭크카지노
With the victory of this game, B-ball has set a bridgehead for the four light heavyweight division titles of WBA, IBF, WBC, and WBO, which will be promoted from May to June next year.
Bivol’s next opponent is expected to be the winner of the Artur Veterviev (Russia) – Callum Smith (UK) match on January 13 next year.
“I’m happy to end the year with this game, and I saw my goal,” Bivol said, “and I want to face the winner of the game next year against Beterbiev and Smith.”
