Russian boxers Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will not fight for the undisputed world light heavyweight title in 2023. This was said by Bivol’s manager, Vadim Korneev.
“We discussed doing the fight in the UAE or the US in June-July, but the sums that came up in the discussions were what we wanted to do, we were not able to do that.”
There are two sides in this fight and both are the top 10 boxers in the world regardless of weight class and both want to make money. They both want this fight to be worth it. I believe they look at it from the same angle, ”Korneev said in the Big Fight Weekend broadcast.
