Bakhram Murtazaliev, the IBF World Champion in the light middleweight division, shared his thoughts on the recent bout between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol in an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net. He claimed he did not see a clear winner in the fight for the title of undisputed world champion in the light heavyweight division.

On that day, I had my last massage before the fight with Tim Tszyu. I was watching the match but didn't count the strikes. The guys with me were saying it was 6-6 or 7-5 in favor of Artur, who took the last three rounds. I believe this fight had three possible outcomes. Those who think Bivol won could be right, and those who awarded the victory to Beterbiev could be right too. A draw is also possible.
