Dmitry Bivol got his revenge.
Returning to Riyadh four months after his somewhat controversial majority decision loss to Artur Beterbiev, Bivol left Saudi Arabia this time around as the undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world.
Bivol and Beterbiev went another 12 full rounds with the latter controlling much of the action with his relentless pressure and signature overhand right. However, it was Bivol who landed the more significant strikes, particularly towards the beginning and the end of the fight.
