The Dmitry Bivol next fight is rumoured to be a trilogy bout with Artur Beterbiev, after Bivol defeated his Russian counterpart in their highly anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia last time out.

Dmitry Bivol Next Fight: Bivol vs Beterbiev Trilogy To Settle The Score?

Boxing fans witnessed history as Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev clashed not once, but twice in Saudi Arabia. Both fights were for undisputed status at light-heavyweight, with Beterbiev winning the first fight back in October and Bivol getting his hand raised in the rematch four months later.

All four world title belts were on the line for both Beterbiev vs Bivol fights, meaning both fighters have had their time as the undisputed light-heavyweight king. Now, a trilogy is already being discussed to settle the scores once and for all.

Dmitry Bivol’s record currently sits at 24-1, with 12 of these wins coming by way of knockout. The only defeat on his resumé was of course the first fight with Artur Beterbiev – a loss which he avenged four months later in the rematch.

This is why a Bivol vs Beterbiev trilogy makes total sense next for both fighters. If a third fight is made, Bivol would likely go in this time as a slight favourite with the best boxing betting sites, given that he won their last encounter.

Given how close both fights have been, boxing fans are demanding a trilogy between Beterbiev and Bivol. With the scores at 1-1, a third fight makes total sense to settle the score one and for all. The winner would then be crowned the best light-heavyweight of this era, of that there is no doubt.

Fingers crossed a third fight is made and this elite level rivalry is settled once and for all with a conclusive winner.

Dmitry Bivol could well be the best 175-pound fighter on the planet, and will want to prove that once and for all in a third fight with Artur Beterbiev. Time will tell if the fight gets made or not, or if indeed Bivol will explore other avenues.

Could Bivol’s Next Fight After Potential Beterbiev Trilogy Be The ‘Canelo’ Rematch?

Although Dmitry Bivol’s next fight is likely to be the Artur Beterbiev trilogy, fans are also speculating about other potential match-ups for the undisputed light-heavyweight king.

Bivol’s promoter Eddie Hearn has already revealed that he is open to a trilogy with Beterbiev. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has also expressed his desire of staging a third fight between the elite 175-pound fighters. However, Dmitry Bivol does also have plenty of other options aside from a third dance with Artur Beterbiev.

The Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez will always be a fight that is discussed by boxing fans. Bivol defeated the great Mexican in their first fight rather convincingly, with ‘Canelo‘ looking to avenge that loss ever since. A rematch between the pair could come to fruition in late 2025 or 2026, depending on both of their individual situations.

Dmitry Bivol won the first fight against ‘Canelo‘ and could well stop the 34-year-old second time around. It is most definitely a winnable fight for Bivol once again, as he showed over two years ago when he comprehensively outboxed the pound-for-pound great.

If a rematch with ‘Canelo‘ was made, Bivol would undoubtedly be a fairly big favourite with online bookmakers to get the job done once again, perhaps even in more conclusive fashion second time around.

Time will tell who Dmitri Bivol’s next fight is against after the potential Artur Beterbiev trilogy. However, the rematch with ‘Canelo’ looks the most likely option, if indeed the Mexican wants to move up to light-heavyweight again.
