Mike Tyson was a destructive puncher when at the peak of his powers, and he’s backing another one to emerge victorious this weekend.
On October 12, live on DAZN , Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bicol will collide in a huge light-heavyweight clash that will crown an undisputed champion.
The fight has been simmering nicely for a number of years, but the pair will finally meet tomorrow night, and the entire boxing community is excited by the prospect.
Both unbeaten fighters head into the bout in a confident manner, but there can only be one winner.
Beterbiev enters the contest following a terrific run as a professional fighter that has saw him register 20 early finishes from as many fights.

The unified champion is one of boxing’s hardest hitting fighters, and another win tomorrow will see his impressive ledger look even greater.
Opposing him will be the WBA champion, who was catapulted in the mainstream consciousness in 2022 when outpointing Canelo Alvarez.
Renowned for his incredible skillset, Bivol will be hopeful his qualities will be able to see off the constat pressure that will be coming from Beterbiev.
Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight champion, is looking forward to the bout and the popular New Yorker has given his backing to Beterbiev.
“Woo. I just think Beterbiev’s gonna do well. I’m a big fan of his,” said Tyson when speaking at the LF-GO press conference .
“I’m being biased, it’s not fair to ask me that question.”
Although keen to watch this weekend’s battle, Tyson is also getting ready for his own fight as he returns to the ring next month against Jake Paul.
