Beterbiev vs. Bivol fight postponed

Artur Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KO’s) and Dmitry Bivol’s (22-0, 11 KO’s) undisputed light heavyweight world title fight has been postponed after Beterbiev suffered a ruptured meniscus in training, “Sky Sports” reports.

WBC, IBF and WBO champion Beterbiev had been scheduled to face WBA belt holder Bivol in a winner-takes-all showdown on Saturday June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

It was set to headline a stacked bill that will also see Deontay Wilder collide with Zhilei Zhang and Filip Hrgovic take on Daniel Dubois.

The remainder of the card is still expected to go ahead while the plan is for Beterbiev and Bivol to meet before the end of the year.
