Boxing in a nutshell.Nothing can ever just be good and stay that way.
they been low key beefing for years. They did spar, bivol says that beterbiev coudn't even touch him, and beterbiev says that he barely remembers the sparring....they dont like each other. Bivol also over the last few years was bitching about the fact that Arthur got certain fights because he lives in Canada, while he was blocked. Anyways, they have real animosity toward each other, there are more things there going all the way back to amateurs within the russian circle.I think it has something to do with them sparring in the past. It could be that Bivol's been knocked out before. Possibly even by Beterbiev himself.
Well, if Bivol's version of the sparring story is true then you'd think that he'd be much more confident around Beterbiev. He also wouldn't have waited him out for as long as he did. Bivol's been called out for delaying their fight publicly. Beterbiev said it to his face and more than once recently. He doesn't deny it. Instead he makes excuses and places the blame squarely on his team.they been low key beefing for years.

I even had it ranked ahead of Fury vs Usyk, for me.This was the best fight scheduled, IMO. Damn shame.
Yes. While Bet still is guy .....stuff if I was an investor, I didn't had wanted him as opponent for my guy because his style: don't rush to finish opponent quickly and instead....to slow down guy and to finish only after this.Too bad, im not surprised Artur got injured, seems to happen every other training camp. At his age the body can’t hold up camp after camp after camp.
About Bivol fights contracts decisions are done by Eddie H. So IMHO I don't blame Bivol cos this stuff.Worst news of the year, wtf. Wonder if there will be any conspiracy theories like some fighters received in the past for “ducking”
Pro boxing is business at first. You create brand ( name ) you might sell for best $ possible.Even Saudi money can’t polish the turd that is boxing. Tired of this sport.
