Thanks mate
Fortunately the hardest part is already done and that was Bivol signing his deal. After Artur beat Callum the Saudis will send him his own separate offer, if they already haven't, and they'll review it all and then sign off on it. The ball is entirely in Artur's court now. I'm expecting news that he signed any day now. He's been wanting the Bivol fight for years. When the two recently came face-to-face he even called him out on stalling it for so long. Bivol had nothing to say about it.I listened to Turki on Ariel’s show, tbh what he said did not sound like a confirmation. It sounded like something he feels confident will happen and is in the plans but there is no confirmation that the contract was signed by both fighters. There was a language barrier too, he wasn’t super clear. Ariel should’ve asked whether contracts are signed as a follow up.
No he wont. History will take it out of context and say Artur is almost 40(which he is) and discredit Bivol.Boxers typically struggle against bigger boxer puncher types. This isn't a Floyd-Maidana situation where Maidana was a blown up LW with limited boxing abilities. This is a massive puncher with very good boxing abilities and who happens to be physically larger than Bivol.
Very dangerous fight. If Bivol wins, he'll be remembered as a legend.
This fight if will happen, despite Bet is ower the hill and old will be cool.If this fight happens - I'm more hyped for this, than any fight of recent memory.
Canelo and GGG.
Beterbiev and Bivol.
Fury and Wilder.
Boxing history only matters to hardcoresNo he wont. History will take it out of context and say Artur is almost 40(which he is) and discredit Bivol.
The glory will only be in short term memory and onky from hardcore boxing fans and a few more russians.
I doubt it. It is true that Bivol has dragged this out for a while but Artur has looked great in 2 of his last 3 fights. He killed it against Joe Smith Jr. and in his last fight against Callum Smith. If Bivol wins he'll really have to earn it. Some fans don't realize just how dangerous Artur is but they will understand very soon.No he wont.

Yeah. Beterbiev is very dangerous due his tactique and power.I doubt it. It is true that Bivol has dragged this out for a while but Artur has looked great in 2 of his last 3 fights.

Freakin awesommmmeFree ESPN. That's fantastic.
I would've paid whatever they were charging for the PPV. Been waiting a half decade for this fight. To find out that we can watch it for free is refreshing.Freakin awesommmme
But, i feel like we've been conditioned to think this is free, we're actually paying ESPN subscription lol. This is what we should expect.
You're right, if any fight is worth $80 it's this one. TBH thats what i love most about Artur fights, they're all on ESPN lol, so easy to watch and great production quality.I would've paid whatever they were charging for the PPV.
