Artur Beterbiev (Meniscus) Injured, RING/Undisputed Championship Versus Bivol Postponed

The light heavyweight debate will have to linger for a few more months.

Artur Beterbiev was once again forced to postpone a title fight due to injury. This one delays the heavily anticipated undisputed showdown versus fellow unbeaten titlist Dmitry Bivol. Beterbiev suffered a ruptured meniscus during training camp, which took their anticipated showdown off the current schedule.

“The plan is to reschedule Beterbiev-Bivol before the end of the year,” Top Rank confirmed in a company statement made available to the media.
