We are waiting for news about a rematch. After that, we’ll see. For now, we are leaning in that direction. We haven’t really discussed it with Turki Alalshikh yet. Is a trilogy a priority for me? Yes, definitely, if Artur wants a rematch. It would feel better to complete the trilogy and settle the score once and for all.
It's important to note that in February 2025, Bivol secured a majority decision victory over Beterbiev in their rematch, while Beterbiev previously claimed a majority decision win against Bivol in October 2024. Beterbiev holds a record of 21 wins (20 by knockout) and one loss, while Bivol has 24 wins (12 by knockout) and one loss.
