Bivol set for return on January 13

WBA World Light Heavy champion Dmitrii Bivol (21-0) is set to return on January 13 in Las Vegas in undercard of Callum Smith vs Artur Beterbiev.

Bivol didn’t fight at all this year. His last fight was on Novermber 11 in Abu Dhabi when he beat Mexican star Gilberto Ramirez, to defend WBA title.

“[Bivol] looks to return in January, possibly January 13 in Las Vegas, and then we want to make the [Artur] Beterbiev fight. There’s been a few approaches about that fight,” Bivol’s promoter Eddie Hearn told Pro Boxing Fans.
