It’s 50-50. The first fight was exciting. I think the second one will also be great. They are evenly matched opponents. It will be interesting to see what happens in the rematch.
The rematch for the title of undisputed world champion in the light heavyweight division is scheduled for February 22. Bivol holds a record of 23 wins (12 by knockout) and one loss, while Beterbiev has 21 wins (20 by knockout) with no losses.
