Dmitry Bivol recently became the undisputed light-heavyweight champion after defeating Artur Beterbiev in a rematch. His record now stands at 24-1, with his only loss coming from their first encounter. Bivol's rise to prominence began six years ago when he defeated Joe Smith Jr. by unanimous decision, retaining the WBA light heavyweight title. This victory helped establish his reputation in the boxing world. In 2024, Bivol scored his first stoppage win in seven years against Malik Zinad, an undefeated fighter at the time. Bivol's performance marked a significant return to form after a series of notable victories, including over Canelo Alvarez.
