Originally slated for June 1st, the fight was postponed due to Beterbiev suffering a ruptured meniscus during training. While the new date is set, fans are cautiously optimistic, knowing that such injuries can lead to further delays if complications arise during Beterbiev's recovery.

Bivol, coming off a recent victory against Malik Zinad, expressed confidence in his preparation and performance, despite showing signs of vulnerability during the fight. Zinad was able to land several significant blows before Bivol secured a sixth-round knockout. This has raised questions about Bivol's form, particularly when compared to his dominant performances against Canelo Alvarez and Gilberto Ramirez. Bivol, however, remains unfazed, stating that he feels ready for the October showdown.

The Zinad fight, which was meant to keep Bivol sharp ahead of his bout with Beterbiev, instead highlighted potential weaknesses in the WBA champion's game. Observers noted that Bivol looked fatigued and less sharp than usual, leading some to speculate whether it's time for him to move up to cruiserweight or if age is beginning to catch up with him. Despite these concerns, Bivol is determined to adjust his tactics and deliver a strong performance in October.

The rescheduled bout between Bivol and Beterbiev is one of the most anticipated fights in recent history, with both fighters holding undefeated records and reputations as formidable power punchers. Beterbiev, known for his perfect knockout record, will look to capitalize on any signs of decline in Bivol's recent performances. Meanwhile, Bivol will aim to prove that his recent struggles were merely a result of tactical missteps, not a decline in his abilities.

This event also has a really stacked undercard, headlined by Fabio Wardley taking on Frazer Clarke.
