Doubt surrounds the Bivol-Beeterbiev trilogy: Will the light weight be passed by 2025?

There is doubts among the fans Dmitry Bivol will return to the rest of 2025 to face Artur Beeterbiev in his three-belt trilogy game in Light Heavyweight.

Bivol-Beeterbiev Trilogy

It is believed that the decision of the two fighters to change the organizers of the struggle from Saudi Arabia in Russia is the cause of the delay. Bivol-Beeterbiev had to fight in November 2025. Without a confirmed date for the trilogy party from July 23, it is a sign that the struggle may not happen until 2026.

According to Bivol and Beterbiev, $ 10 million were paid for each of their two fights. It is not clear how much they expect to receive from the organizers in Russia. The PPV buys on its resale from the United States was 45,000 and 340,000 worldwide. These are not awesome numbers.

Fans want Ibf, WBA and WBO of 175-LB, Bivol champion (24-1, 12 kos) and Beeterbiev (21-1, 20 kos) to achieve their rivalry with once and for all. Many of them are tired of seeing these two fighters fight and want some new blood to have a chance. David Benavidez has been waiting for his turn to challenge the titles currently by Bivol.

Beterbiev’s frustration

Arthur, 40, recently stated his frustration on Instagram on Bivol’s delay in getting his trilogy party to say, saying: “How old should I have to be able to fight for the third time?” He suspects that Bivol, 34, is dragging his trilogy game to grow older so that he has a better chance of winning.

Bivol lost the first fight last October, and would probably have been hit in the second if Bertebiev did not precipitate shortly after the knee surgery in a blown meniscus. Artur wanted to fight Bivol five years ago and he felt the delay to grow old.

When they finally struggled last year, Beterbiev’s pressure was too much for Bivol, who ran around the ring, showing little interest in standing and fighting. Bivol became better in reselling against the Beterbiev Minor Mobile, but appeared ready to fold in the twelfth round when Artur applied the pressure without stopping.
