Live results and updates will be shown tonight below:
IBF, WBC, and WBO lightweight champion Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs) and WBA champion Bivol (23-0, 12 KOs) fight for the undisputed championship at 175. A special Undisputed belt has been created for the winner of the contest.
Bivol, 33, is the favorite to win tonight, but that doesn’t mean much as he faces his toughest opponent of his 11-year career, and there are many question marks over whether he is as good as some believe it to be. .
The undercard was widely criticized by fans as lacking quality, depth or any entertainment value for North Americans. It’s an undercard that some fans believe is skewed towards the UK audience and ultra-extreme boxing fans rather than the masses.
