Bivol vs Eifert: Start Time, Undercard, and How to Watch This Weekend
Dmitry Bivol puts the unified light-heavyweight titles on the line against Michael Eifert this weekend. The champion, who narrowly outpointed Artur Beterbiev fifteen months ago to secure undisputed status and level their rivalry at 1-1, will face the German challenger on home soil in Russia.
Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) takes on Eifert (13-1, 5 KOs) at the UMMC Arena in Yekaterinburg. The bout comes after Bivol avenged his sole professional loss against Beterbiev, but fans are already looking ahead to a potential trilogy clash with Beterbiev or a match-up with David Benavidez.
However, Beterbiev has not fought since his loss to Bivol, while Benavidez's most recent outing was a unified-title win at cruiserweight. Still, the 41-year-old Beterbiev wants revenge against his compatriot, and Benavidez remains interested in facing Bivol.
