Dmitry Bivol was ready for today's press conference for his rematch with undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev on February 22 next month in Riyadh.

Beterbiev's look of horror

Former WBA 175-lb champion Bival (23-1, 12 KOs) had a funny line when the moderator asked Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) what his message was: “I'm not a postman. I am an athlete.” The line made everyone laugh except Beterbiev, who shot Beevel a look that said, 'You'll see.'

That look said it all. Bivol will be knocked out unless he goes on a run to lose his 12-round majority decision against Beterbiev on October 12th. Bival couldn't stand Beterbiev for the last time as he began to pressure him in the sixth. in the sixth,

Beevel tries to stand his ground and is stunned. From there, he abandons the ship and goes on a long retreat, taking shots while running, holding and unwilling to fight. Bevel fans were disappointed, believing their hero had won, but they didn't face the truth.

He lost his nerve and courage when necessary against Beterbiev. Bivol looked like he was being chased by an angry wolf in the forest. His eyes were wide with fear, and he showed no heart. He was the perfect example of a warrior who lost his nerve and lived to avoid humiliation.

“Luck” has nothing to do with success, Bival said in a press conference today. This is a common stage in Eastern Europe, but in this case, the words were unbelievable because he was not going to fight harder than last time.

If he does, he will probably be knocked out because he doesn't have the guts, chin and strength to stand up to Beteryev, a hungry wolf.

Beterbiev won their previous bout 115-113, 16-112, 114-114.

The Hunter Returns

Dmitry Bivol: “It's a good opportunity for me. I know people like the first fight, and they want to see the second fight. I want to fight second, and I want to win this fight. What I could see about the belt. Before, I so wanted this belt and something else. Today, I don't just want the belt, I want revenge. I want to fix what I did before. i want to win It's not just about the belt,” Bival told TODAY press conference.

“I have to change enough to prove that I'm better and I have to add more work. We've already changed a bit with the training camp. We've added some coaches to our training camp, and now, I'm working on myself. Of course. , I want to be better. I want to be perfect, and I'm trying to be.”

Arthur Beterbiev: “My goal now is to keep my belt, and I will do my best to do that. If he wants to do that he has a rematch (to get revenge). Good enough to win. enough to win. “I don't know maybe because he was lucky that night,” Beterbiev said of why Bivel saw the final bell in their previous Oct. 12 fight.”

Bival: “I don't believe much in luck. I think luck comes to people who work a lot and I work on it and I get lucky. Luck will not come without work. I have no message I am not a postman. I am an athlete. I'll come to the ring, and we'll work and talk.”

Beterbiev: “Do you mean the postman? no I think on February 22nd, we are going to see a good fight. Be ready for my message. That's it. Nothing else.”
