Lewis Watson 
Four months on from their titanic first meeting, Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol do it all over again in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the undisputed light-heavyweight championship of the world.
Beterbiev won a razor-thin scrap back in October courtesy of a majority decision from the judges, but if you were to honestly state that there was a comprehensive winner then you’d be lying…
So, in an attempt to settle the score in the 175-pound division, these pair of potential future Hall of Famers throw it down once again inside the Kingdom Arena, Saudi Arabia for all the light-heavyweight marbles, plus the top boxing betting offers from the best betting sites.
Beterbiev v Bivol Betting Tips & Predictions
Despite the lack of blood, guts, gore and a knockdown in their original meeting, Beterbiev and Bivol are made for each other inside the squared circle.
Their history dates back to a shared spot on the 2008 Russian Olympic boxing team, and they have been on something of a collision course ever since.
In the first bout, Beterbiev was able to be the aggressor and fight in his usual front-foot, pressured style, penetrating the high guard of Bivol on a number of occasions without looking like he was going to get him in trouble.
But despite this eye-catching style, Bivol was able to work well off his jab, use plenty of lateral movement and show in pockets that he could be a highly effective pressure fighter as well.
So what is going to have changed in the four months since their original bout?
At 40, Father Time is arguably Beterbiev’s biggest opponent, and with an injury postponing their original date who knows how his body will hold up with another camp and gruelling 12 rounds in the pipeline.
Bivol is as fit and as conditioned as they come. He may not possess that one-punch concussive power that Beterbiev does, but if he is able to consistently hit the target then it is going to ask further questions of Beterbiev’s fitness and durability.

Dmitry Bivol to win
Turki Alalshikh has admitted already that we are due a trilogy if Bivol is able to get over the line this time around, and sometimes that’s just how boxing works.
Much like Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, you could watch this fight 100 times and have 49 wins for one fighter and 51 for the other, such are the tight margins, so Bivol to even the score looks well priced at slightly over Evens.
Total knockdowns – Under 0.5
These two are proper fighting men.
We saw in the Canelo-Golovkin trilogy that sometimes it doesn’t matter how many punches are thrown, neither man is susceptible to hitting the canvas, and we are expecting the same this weekend.
Neither Beterbiev not Bivol looked in trouble across their first 36 minutes of combat – this fight should play out similarly.
