Chapter 2 Belongs To Bivol

One of the benefits to the sport of Boxing over the last couple of years as the sport has expanded into new markets including several events now regularly taking place in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has been not only bouts of significant interest taking place with seemingly less red tape than is the norm, but also rematches of those bouts occurring in a more streamlined way than what is normally the case. In recent times, it was the Undisputed Heavyweight championship of the world in 2024 between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Uysk, first to determine an undisputed champion, then the rematch in December of last year. Two fights that saw Usyk emerge victorious. Another undisputed championship that was also staged in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in October of last year was the encounter between undefeated world champions Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol met to determine a sole champion in the 175lb. Light-Heavyweight division. In a highly competitive bout that saw several shifts in momentum th...

Bellew And Groves Predict Beterbiev-Bivol II

Press Release: February 22, 2025 By CasinoBeats.com - Recently, former world champions and Boxing legends Tony Bellew and George Groves sat down with CasinoBeats.com to predict today's Undisputed Light-Heavyweight world championship rematch between undefeated champion Artur Beterbiev and former unified world championship Dmitry Bivol. Bellew and Groves shared their thoughts on the highly anticipated showdown below. Tony Bellew on Beterbiev v Bivol: “I do (think it will be a different outcome) with Bivol winning on points. Once again, I thought the first could have gone either way. I thought Bivol was the better boxer on the night, but I thought Beterbiev pressed the whole night and he outpunched him. He just outworked him. And I think them championship rounds in that fight were big. I did like Bivol’s boxing, so Bivol has shown us he has the ability. I think he'll learn his lesson from the first fight. But if Beterbiev is successful again, then I think he could take on Jai Ope...

Barboza-Catterall Thoughts

On February 15th a world title elimination bout took place in the 140lb. Jr. Welterweight division to determine a number one contender in the World Boxing Organization ( WBO ) Jr. Welterweight world championship currently held by Teofimo Lopez. The bout, which took place in Manchester, England, pitted Arnold Barboza and Jack Catterall the WBO’s number one and two contenders respectively. What was refreshing about this particular encounter beyond it being one between the legitimate top two contenders meeting to determine who will be next to challenge for a world title, but it was simply a bout between two of the top fighters in the Jr. Welterweight division, which did not see any grandstanding or pre-fight hype tactics that all too often crosses the line from simply trying to draw interest in a fight to legitimately personal attacks. This was simply two of the best fighters meeting to test their skills against each other. What resulted was a tactical battle where both fighters seemed to...

Belated Weekend Thoughts: Benavidez, Shields Shine In Separate Main Events

The first weekend of February 2025 featured what proved to be a grudge match between two unbeaten Light-Heavyweight contenders as both were looking to take the next and supposed final step towards challenging for a world championship, and was followed by a new chapter of Boxing history being written as a future Hall of Famer added another accolade to her already stellar legacy. First, it was the Light-Heavyweight battle between undefeated former WBC Super-Middleweight world champion David Benavidez and unbeaten top Light-Heavyweight contender David Morrell, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The main event of the latest Prime Video pay-per-view card promoted by the Premier Boxing Champions group of promoters did not disappoint as what appeared to be a dislike between the two fighters in the lead up to the encounter, which more often than not and for better or worse, is used as a way to promote fights, manifested into a grueling back and forth battle between two ...
