Dmitry Bivol won the undisputed light-heavyweight titles from Artur Beterbiev on Saturday, avenging a narrow loss to the latter in the process.
In October, Beterbiev won a majority decision against Bivol, unifying all the major belts – although many observers felt Bivol had done enough to win.
Still, Bivol claimed he had to “add more” in a rematch, and the 34-year-old did just that, winning a majority decision of his own. That also meant he handed Beterbiev his first professional loss, four months after the 40-year-old did the same to him.
