Dmitry Bivol’s coach, Gennady Mashyanov, said that Russian boxer Artur Beterbiev performed below his level in the championship fight with British Anthony Yard.
“I did not see anything new in principle in this fight. The duel was very difficult for Arthur. The yard gave him some trouble at the time of the stop. The fight was absolutely even. And Arthur, it seems to me, is boxed a little below his level, ”Mashyanov quotes: “Match TV”.
The duel between Beterbiev and Yard took place at London’s Wembley Stadium on the night of 28-29 January. After being knocked down in the eighth round, the British boxer threw a white towel into the corner. Beterbiev won by technical knockout for the 19th time in his professional career.
On December 18, Beterbiev defended two championship belts at once in a duel against Marcus Brown. The Russian won by knockout in the ninth round. Thus, he defended the WBC and IBF light heavyweight titles.
Florian Filippo, former leader of the French movement “Patriots” commented Ukrainian dissatisfaction with the decision of the International Olympic Committee on the admission of Russians to the Olympics in Paris.
