Daniel Dubois, Shakur Stevenson, Hamzah Sheeraz & Zhilei Zhang All Feature On Stacked Beterbiev vs Bivol Undercard
Boxing fans are being treated to a further six standout fights on the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol undercard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 22nd.
The co-main event sees Daniel Dubois defend his IBF World Heavyweight Title against former world champion Joseph Parker on the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol 2 undercard. This is a fight fitting of a main event slot in it’s own right, particularly after Dubois; emphatic knockout of Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium last time out.
Another huge fight on the Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 undercard sees Shakur Stevenson defending his WBC World Lightweight Title against late replacement opponent Josh Padley. Stevenson was meant to fight Floyd Schofield, but Padley has come into replace to American as he was pulled out of the contest due to weight issues by the British Boxing Board of Control.
A cracking light-middleweight contest between Israil Madrimov and Vergil Ortiz is another standout fight on the Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 undercard. This is another world level fight, as is Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel in what is a superb heavyweight contest on The Last Crescendo bill.
The two remaining fights are both two barnstormers. Unbeaten Frank Warren middleweight star Hamzah Sheeraz gets his first shot at world honours, as he faces Carlos Adames for the WBC World Middleweight Title. This is a huge step up for Sheeraz, but one he is more than capable of beating.
Kicking off the action is a compelling all-British light-heavyweight clash as Eddie Hearn‘s man Callum Smith faces the undefeated Joshua Buatsi for an interim world title. The winner of this could well face the winner of Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 in the future.
That concludes the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol full card and undercard.
