Speaking afterwards, Matchroom boss Hearn expressed his admiration for how the former managed to dictate the flow of the fight against a modern-day great.

"I think a lot of people felt like he won the first fight, to be honest," he told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_df89uuwb1Q">The Stomping Ground</a>. "But it was a very close fight.

"When I heard the 114-114, I was thinking don't do that to us again. It was one of the best performances I've ever witnessed.

"I think he won the first two rounds, and then Beterbiev won the next three. But it was the way he won them, and the speed he was coming out with.

"He was doing all the things he did in [the championship rounds] last time round. Young fighters need to look at how he made Beterbiev follow him around.

"To do that to a guy like that, a beast and one of the greatest fighters of our generation, that's the kind of performance that cements you as a pound-for-pound king."

That left Congolese fighter Bakole, one of the most fearsome prospects coming through the heavyweight division, to step into the void and the ring on Saturday night.

After just two bruising rounds, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/joseph-parker-stops-late-replacement-martin-bakole-in-second-round-of-heavyweight-fight/1rc44349qo2ei1gppy2uy3h0dn">Parker managed to drop his foe and earn another victory</a>, with trainer Lee delighted to see the gamble pay off after a madcap few days.

"It could have been a hard fight, and it was turning into a hard fight," he told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua_3ifBnvGs">The Stomping Ground</a>. "But that punch showed he could knock out any heavyweight.

"What a punch. [The extra weight was about] just having that bit of power. What a great fight. I'm so happy for Joe. It's been a crazy 48 hours.

"I don't think many would have put up with it, turning up to a press conference and finding out on social media that Daniel Dubois was sick.

"We didn't know if we had a fight or not. He wanted the biggest challenge. It's easy on reflection now, but everybody before this said it was crazy for Joe to take this fight."

'Said it was crazy!' - Andy Lee vindicated by Martin Bakole decision after Joseph Parker victory

</ul>

That turnaround was exposed by <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/joseph-parker-stops-late-replacement-martin-bakole-in-second-round-of-heavyweight-fight/1rc44349qo2ei1gppy2uy3h0dn">a dynamic Parker inside two rounds</a> on the undercard of Dmitry Bivol's undisputed light heavyweight rematch win over Artur Beterbiev.

But Joshua feels Bakole, one of the rising stars bidding for a world title shot in the division, still firmly has a place in the conversation to reach the upper heavyweight tiers.
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rmRj4Ms6Ypw?si=ZkAR7S08j-uG4XoW" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

"Bakole believes in himself," he told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlZ5YhlVr5w">The Stomping Ground</a>. "That's the heavyweight division at the end of the day.

"There is an element of skill, but what makes the heavyweight division so interesting is that it takes one punch to change the course of a fight.

"Regardless if Bakole had five days or five weeks, that punch from a heavyweight knocks down or knocks out anyone. We're just too powerful.

"If it connects right, it doesn't matter if you've had five months in a training camp. A shot that lands like that knocks out anyone, so well done to Joe.

"Bakole believes in himself and he's got every right to. He's a serious fighter. That's not the end, this is the heavyweight division.

"If he's got it in him to fight again, I'm sure he will. He's a great addition to the division, so let's see him roll the dice again."

Joshua was part of DAZN's team on the ground in Riyadh, and enjoyed a ringside view to the main event afterwards, as Bivol claimed his revenge over Beterbiev.

The Briton is among those who believe there could be a third dance between the duo after their outstanding first two fights, adding: "It's phenomenal [to watch].

"I wonder if Dmitry Bivol will give Artur Beterbiev the trilogy. I'd watch a third one. I think they can both do [another dozen rounds]. I think they've got it in their locker."

'Bakole believes in himself!' - Anthony Joshua backs heavyweight star to bounce back from Joseph Parker loss

Bayern Munich may be focused on their Bundesliga and <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/soccer/2024-25-uefa-champions-league-last-16-draw/16xld6aqrzav1jrvtadqzestg">Champions League campaigns,</a> but Harry Kane is aiming to lift even more silverware this summer.  
 
<a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/soccer/2025-club-world-cup-schedule-when-are-bayern-munich-playing/9r7di0xpjh119jc3w4glhtwc">The German giants will compete</a> in the newly revamped <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/soccer/club-world-cup-explained-format-teams-draw-and-schedule/fq6auvhe0t4w1veyn8ydehmi0">FIFA Club World Cup</a> in June, as 32 teams head to the USA for the show-stopping tournament.  
 
The competition presents another opportunity for the England skipper to be part of a trophy-winning Bayern team and he has stated their ambitions ahead of the big kick-off later this year.  
 
"For sure, to win it. We’re one of the best teams in the world, without a doubt, so every tournament we go into, the idea is to win," Kane said. 

"We know it’ll be tough, of course, as every major tournament will be. But, look, we’re having a good season. Of course, we’re focused on the Bundesliga and the [UEFA] Champions League right now, but once we’re there in June, I think there’ll be a real hunger to try and be the first ones to win this tournament.     
 
"I think it’s going to be great. I mean, it’s going to be unique, playing this type of major tournament with your club is different to what’s been done in the past but I think it’s going to be a great experience.

"Going out to the US, as well, a year before the (FIFA) World Cup itself, will be a great chance to get to know some of the stadiums and get to know the fans out there.

"And, yeah, it’s going to be a really great tournament. As always, when it’s the first of any type of tournament, people are wondering how it’s going to go but I’m really excited for it."    
 

<img alt="FIFA Club World Cup" perform:prop="uuid:no2wluyk14eb1fjz1v0ni64b3;width:1500;height:500" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/da/2d/fifa-club-world-cup_m788ywz4d3u1fjyxvkctkjx5.jpg?t=-1734948276" />

Bayern has been drawn into a group with Auckland City, Benfica and Boca Juniors, and it's the game against the iconic South American side that Kane is really looking forward to. 

Adding: "Yeah, that’ll be a special match. I think it’ll be one of the stand-out matches in the whole of the group phase and in the whole tournament, to be honest. I think it’s a great experience for the players to play against different teams around the world.

"Of course, we’re so used to playing in Europe, but it’s good to have those experiences against different types of teams, different atmospheres.

"I think that game is in Miami, which will be pretty special, as well, with the fan base there. So, again, another experience to look forward to. It’ll be a really tough game but one we’ll enjoy."

</ul>

The result capped a fine night of boxing from which Dubois - originally set to face Joseph Parker - was absent after a late withdrawal, with Martin Bakole stepping in at short notice.

Speaking afterwards however, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh offered praise to all fighters, and hinted at a slew of matches for the top stars of the major divisions.

"He deserved it, and we want to see the third [fight]," he told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k392q5EdEHI">The Stomping Ground</a>. "[And] Bakole coming [at short notice] was incredible. We will have a big fight with him in May."

"I think Dubois-Usyk is the fight people are waiting for, but also for Parker, we will have a big fight for him."

Dubois previously lost to Usyk as the latter moved into pole position as the division's leading star, and called him out in the wake of December's win over Tyson Fury.

Speculation continues to rumble on over the future of the latter too following January's sudden retirement amid discussion of a super-bout with Anthony Joshua.

There have been hopes that the Briton could reverse his decision, and His Excellency Turki Alalshikh admitted he has spoken to him, albeit not about a sporting comeback.

"I want Tyson [for Joshua]," he added. "I spoke with him but we didn't talk about boxing. He may return. I hope so."

'We want to see the third!' - His Excellency Turki Alalshikh lifts lid on Beterbiev-Bivol trilogy bout and Usyk-Dubois 2

The undisputed champion in boxing is a fighter who holds all belts from the four major governing bodies: the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF.

The IBO belt is not generally considered when deciding the status of an undisputed champion, due to the computerised system that the body uses for its rankings. The Ring championship title is also not factored into the undisputed champion status.

A unified champion is a fighter who holds belts from two or more bodies, but not necessarily all four major titles for the division.

Oleksandr Usyk became the first undisputed world heavyweight champion in the four belt era when he defeated Tyson Fury on points in May 2024. That also made the Ukrainian the first undisputed heavyweight king since British fighter Lennox Lewis in 1999.

However, that only lasted five weeks despite Usyk never losing a fight. The IBF ordered him to vacate his belt to Daniel Dubois, because he did not fight their mandatory challenger next.

Here is the rundown of every undisputed champion in heavyweight history (the recognised sanctioning bodies have changed over the years).

Complete list of undisputed heavyweight boxing champions

The sport of boxing never makes it easy when it comes to fans discussing who is the number one fighter in each division.

With four governing bodies each having their own versions of world titles, it can be get confusing, however, it looks like boxing is slowly starting to crown more undisputed champions.

However, while there are few undisputed champions, there are plenty of unified champions who have come through the ranks in recent years to taste success. 

But just what is the difference? What does unified and undisputed champion mean? Here, DAZN breaks it down for you.

<h2>What does it mean to be a unified champion?</h2>

A unified champion is one who holds two or more of the major sanctioning titles in a division, of which there are four recognised bodies who offer out championship belts.

They are the International Boxing Federation, the World Boxing Association, the World Boxing Council and the World Boxing Organization.

A fighter need only have two of these belts to be recognised as a unified champion, while those who collect all four are still technically unified too.

Current unified champions in men's boxing include: 

<ul>
	<li>Heavyweight: Oleksandr Usyk - WBA, WBC, WBO</li>
	<li>Cruiserweight: Gilberto Ramírez - WBA, WBO</li>
	<li>Light heavyweight: Dmitry Bivol - WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO</li>
	<li>Super middleweight: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez - WBA, WBC, WBO</li>
	<li>Middleweight: Janibek Alimkhanuly - IBF, WBO</li>
	<li>Light middleweight: Sebastian Fundora - WBC, WBO</li>
	<li>Super bantamweight: Naoya Inoue - WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO</li>
	<li>Mini flyweight: Oscar Collazo - WBA, WBO</li>
</ul>

<h2>What does it mean to be an undisputed champion?</h2>

An undisputed champion is a fighter who holds all four major championship belts across a single division, holding the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO crowns at one time.

Due to the nature of competing governing bodies, with eaching offering their own rankings and mandatory challengers, it has been difficult to see many stars become undisputed in the four-belt era.

Oleksandr Usyk, for example, became the undisputed heavyweight champion after victory over Tyson Fury in May 2024, but was forced to relinquish his IBF belt after refusing to fight their preferred contender.

Current undisputed champions in men's boxing include:

<ul>
	<li>Light heavyweight: Dmitry Bivol - WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO</li>
	<li>Super bantamweight: Naoya Inoue - WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO</li>
</ul>

What is the difference between undisputed and unified champions? List of three-belt and four-belt titleholders, current undisputed champs

Riyadh Season’s The Last Crescendo, one of the most stacked cards in boxing history, ended with <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/beterbiev-vs-bivol-parker-vs-bakole-live/itmvldhbraxw1ocgr7iqc7fl2">the coronation of Dmitry Bivol as the new undisputed light heavyweight king</a>.

With the crown that came with Bivol defeating Artur Beterbiev by majority decision in their rematch Saturday night, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/three-possible-opponents-for-dmitry-bivol-after-becoming-the-undisputed-light-heavyweight-champion/gpuw42tpqicp14qyo8gcvyk05">the new 175-pound ruler has next options</a> that can only benefit boxing once again.
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TIamABjO8sw?si=eNpOZko6iemjTMAU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Following his victory over Beterbiev, Bivol expressed to DAZN how he wanted to take some much-deserved rest before making next move.

Well, when he’s ready, the 34-year-old could decide between a trilogy with Beterbiev or a clash with David Benavidez, the interim WBA “regular” and WBC light heavyweight world champion.

Either choice would give Bivol the opportunity to add a key chapter to his growing legend and move the needle of the sweet science, altogether.

After 24 thrilling rounds between Bivol and Beterbiev have resulted in a majority decision win apiece, there’s already an organic groundswell calling for a third and final fight to end this storied rivalry between the two Russian warriors.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh only added fuel to that upsurge as DAZN’s Chris Mannix reported that Alalshikh immediately signaled for a trilogy following two of three judges scoring Saturday night’s fight in Bivol’s favor.

Elated by the result in avenging his first loss after just over four months, Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) did not delve too much into a possible third fight.

However, Beterbiev (21-1, 20 KOs) accepted his first pro defeat and did not waste time calling for a trilogy.

“Now, it’s my time to come back,” the former undisputed light heavyweight world champion told Mannix inside the ring. “We’re gonna do a third fight.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
Respect always from Beterbiev 👏<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BeterbievBivol2?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BeterbievBivol2</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RiyadhSeason?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RiyadhSeason</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Turki_alalshikh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Turki_alalshikh</a> <a href="https://t.co/8fXw1bMyCl">pic.twitter.com/8fXw1bMyCl</a>

<script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Considering how Beterbiev came on midway to change the complexion and win their original October fight by majority decision, courtesy of his power game, only for Bivol to make key adjustments from the seventh round on to snatch the rematch by the same result, led by his brilliant boxing, a possible trilogy already packs intrigue over which Russian fighter could emerge victorious to end this rivalry.

Another 12 rounds of Bivol-Beterbiev would be a gift.

However, the same could be said for Bivol shifting his sights toward a younger, undefeated Benavidez (30-0, 25 KOs).

The interim WBA “regular"/WBC light heavyweight champion is already a mandatory challenger, making a Bivol vs. Benavidez showdown for the undisputed crown a fascinating mega fight.

Prior to Benavidez defeating David Morrell by unanimous decision earlier this month, <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/david-benavidez-sets-sights-on-an-undisputed-2025-in-and-out-the-ring/129tfwifnsv1z1blqon20qxccn">“El Monstro” divulged to DAZN News about his history with sparring Bivol</a>.

 “I know Bivol really well. I’ve sparred him a lot. I have a lot of respect for him,” Benavidez said.

“Just because I’ve sparred him, [I’m] not saying he’s an easy fighter or none of that,” he continued. “I know what I can do with him.”

Benavidez added: “I want to fight the best. I’ve had a lot of experience, so now, it’s just time to really push myself and go for greatness so that’s exactly what I’m doing.”

Both Benavidez and Bivol tend to overwhelm their opponents with punch volume, with Bivol doing it with movement and brilliant angles off the jab, while Benavidez opts to pressure in fighters’ faces and keep his output high with thudding punches along the way.

For Bivol, the fight would grant him the opportunity to segue from handing a destroyer like Beterbiev his first loss to putting the only blemish on Benavidez’s ledger as well in effectively cleaning out the 175-pound division.

For Benavidez, the fight would could be the launching pad to become the undisputed light heavyweight world champion, in addition to giving the 28-year-old bragging rights in doing something that Canelo Alvarez failed at — defeating Bivol.

All said, either a trilogy with Beterbiev or a clash with Benavidez would satiate Bivol’s virtuosity quite well.

Plus, it would be earmarked in the annals of boxing history as a mega converging for not only the light heavyweight division but for the sport and all the eyes in it, period.

Either a Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev trilogy or Bivol showdown with David Benavidez would move the needle on boxing

The UFC was in Seattle for a Fight Night event headlined by two bantamweights, unfortunately, an amazing card was marred by an eye poke in the main event. 

Former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo was poked in both eyes at the end of the third round and tried to finish the fight but after speaking with his coaches between rounds, decided not to continue due to his sight. Song Yadong collapsed on the canvas when the fight was called and sent to the judges. The judges scored the fight for Yadong via a technical decision. 

"I am so sorry Henry, that is not the result I wanted," Yadong said on the microphone after the fight. He called for a rematch with Cejudo. 

When Cejudo took the microphone he was booed 

"We're about to be brother's Bisping," Cejudo joked with Michael Bisping who famously has just one good eye. Cejudo agreed to the rematch after lamenting about the eye. 

This main event comes as a disappointment after the massive knockouts and submissions that came throughout the preliminary card.

But Gervonta 'Tank' Davis was not exactly impressed.

The WBA lightweight world champion took to his X account and responded to Stevenson's performance with laughter, posting "LOL."

Well, that did not sit too kindly with Stevenson who fired back on the same social media platform with a caveat.

Stevenson telling Davis to "stay focused" is also in reference to the collision course they seem to be on that Stevenson does not want to see get derailed. A Roach upset of Davis would do just that.

Davis and Stevenson have long traded verbal jabs through the years, with the latter calling "Tank" out for a mega fight once again Saturday night.

Bivol started and ended the stronger, with Beterbiev dominating the middle rounds. That meant come the final bell, it was going to be another close decision from the judges. 

For the second time we saw one judge score it a draw at 114-114; with the other two giving it to Bivol 116-112; 115-113.

It sparked incredible, joyous, emotional scenes from Bivol and his team in the ring. None more so than his Matchroom promoter and great supporter Eddie Hearn. 

The promoter seemed to be praying to the boxing gods, with his eyes shut, as the scores were read out, before roaring like a lion when his man was declared the victor.

The reaction summing up what it meant to the whole Bivol team.

Watch incredible Eddie Hearn reaction as Dmitry Bivol crowned new undisputed light heavyweight king

The original Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol fight last October had Beterbiev adjusting midway and overwhelming Bivol toward a <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/artur-beterbiev-vs-dmitry-bivol-live-updates-results-and-highlights/iza26hq294h1i7e00k1migbb"> majority decision </a> to become the undisputed light heavyweight world champion.

On Saturday night in the headliner rematch of Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo, Bivol flipped the script, making the necessary adjustments from the seventh round to brilliantly outbox Beterbiev and <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/beterbiev-vs-bivol-parker-vs-bakole-live/itmvldhbraxw1ocgr7iqc7fl2"> win by his own majority decision to be crowned the new undisputed light heavyweight world champ </a> .

After the superb sweet science display, Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) told DAZN that he would like to get some well-deserved rest. However, when he does return to the ring, he will have plenty of options for his next big fight.

Here, DAZN News lists three possible opponents for the new undisputed 175-pound king of boxing.

<h2>Artur Beterbiev trilogy</h2>

<img alt="Beterbiev vs Bivol" perform:prop="uuid:1isb2mkrdcqlj1juzk4v1flar9;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/70/6d/beterbiev-vs-bivol_n56n204ep1871spwinvqmke3d.jpg?t=804066013" />

A majority decision nod for Beterbiev in October gets avenged by Bivol in the rematch just over four months later.

That writes the perfect script for a trilogy between these two ultimate competitors.

DAZN's Chris Mannix shared how His Excellency Turki Alalshikh immediately signaled for a trilogy following Saturday night's rematch and Beterbiev himself co-signed that desire in a subsequent interview.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

<script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8">
</script>After 24 thrilling rounds resulting in a win apiece, possibly getting the gift of seeing rounds 25 through 36 would be astounding.

These two are truly at the top of their respective crafts and it would be intriguing to see who can close out the rivalry in a final high-level boxing bout.

<h2>David Benavidez</h2>

<img alt="David Benavidez" perform:prop="uuid:19rhbxpxhudnh1fytm9o0mdq4z;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/bb/c7/david-benavidez_ea6l2tz24mvh19jxyiyiff8fs.jpg?t=-1902691244" />

Prior to Bivol avenging his loss against Beterbiev, David Benavidez told DAZN that he wants the winner for the right to be the undisputed ruler at light heavyweight.

The undefeated boxing star is a pristine 30-0 (24 KOs), coming off of <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/david-benavidez-vs-david-morrell-jr-live-updates-results-highlights/a54osuiyhijo1iwe8dsejd1hx"> a key unanimous decision victory over David Morrell </a>  earlier this month.

During <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/david-benavidez-sets-sights-on-an-undisputed-2025-in-and-out-the-ring/129tfwifnsv1z1blqon20qxccn"> an interview with DAZN News </a> late last year, Benavidez shared his history with Bivol.

“I know Bivol really well. I’ve sparred him a lot. I have a lot of respect for him," Benavidez said. “Just because I’ve sparred him, [I’m] not saying he’s an easy fighter or none of that. I know what I can do with him.”

Considering Benavidez is the interim WBA/WBC light heavyweight champion, he has earned the shot at Bivol's crown.

Now, it is just about making the mega fight happen.

<h2>Gilberto Ramirez</h2>

<img alt="Gilberto Zurdo Ramirez" perform:prop="uuid:15kwg23mubcpi119wlfj5jdo0n;width:1920;height:1080" src="https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/DAZN_News/73/4c/gilberto-zurdo-ramirez_1x4c270uzoxel1tlpet8fx6sd6.jpg?t=-905338461" />

Look back at Bivol's history and he counts a unanimous decision victory over Gilberto Ramírez back in November 2022.

Since then, Ramirez has come into his own as the reigning, unified WBA/WBO cruiserweight world champion.

Just imagine if Bivol were to follow up his undisputed light heavyweight feat by attempting to become the unified cruiserweight world champ.

For Bivol, it would allow him to add another great chapter in his growing legend.

For Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs), the rematch would mark a shot to avenge his only pro loss.

Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 LIVE: Dmitry Bivol the new undisputed light heavyweight champion on historic boxing night

Dmitry Bivol is the new undisputed light heavyweight champion after beating Artur Beterbiev to inflict the first defeat of his career on a majority decision in their egarly anticipated rematch in Riyadh.

Just like the first fight, it was one which was watched in awe as both men gave it their all in another thrilling 12-round showdown.

Beterbiev was looking to march Bivol down in the opening round, but just like the first fight Bivol was able to swerve his way out of trouble and landed a left hand to try and gain his opponent’s respect.

Bivol kept busy in the second, his jab landing with ease as he tried to slow down the marching Beterbiev. A Bivol right hand was the standout moment, landing flush on the defending champion and for Bivol it was clear that he was looking to catch the judges’ eye at ringside if this fight did go the full distance.

</ul>

As expected, Beterbiev was increasing the pace in the third, but Bivol was coping. He missed a dangerous right hand before throwing some combinations of his own. Beterbiev however was not letting the challenger get away that easy with a thumping body shot in the closing stages before the pair traded punches.

Beterbiev was on the hunt in round four, sending Bivol backwards towards the ropes with ease compared to previous rounds. A thumping left to the body kept Bivol quiet as he struggled to find a response.

In round five, Bivol had lost control of the ring with Beterbiev dictating his opponent’s movement. The defending undisputed champion continued to target the body and with 10 seconds remaining, landed a left hook before staggering Bivol with a right hand.

Bivol returned the favour in round seven with a straight left as the scars of battle were starting to show, both men had marks near their respective left eyes. At the end of the round, Bivol was getting a quick massage on his legs, a sign that his team were confident his stamina will get him through this edge of your seat thriller.

Bivol used rounds seven and eight to recharge before he sprung into life during the ninth. Throwing a myriad of quick combinations, Bivol was looking to wrestle back control of this fight, and Beterbiev looked spent going back to his corner. His eyes wide and mouth wide open, perhaps the defending undisputed champion realised this Bivol has improved massively since the first meeting in October.

Unlike the first fight, Beterbiev’s late resurgence was nowhere to be seen. This all due to Bivol grabbing the fight by the scruff of the neck and control everything, from ring position to tempo.

Throughout rounds 10 to 12, Bivol made sure to keep Beterbiev on the backfoot, frequently backing up his rival on to the ropes. A quick one-two combination in the eleventh kept Beterbiev quiet who struggled to throw his dangerous right hand despite getting his feet in the right position.  

Compared to October's fight, the verdict seemed a lot easier to call, but then came the announcement that one judge scored the contest a 114-114 draw, prompting fears of an unjust verdict.

Then MC Michael Buffer announced two scores for 116-112 and 115-113 in favour of Bivol and a new four-belt light heavyweight champion was crowned. 

The obvious move will now be for Bivol and Beterbiev to meet for a third time, and if so, it will be the perfect curtain call for what has been fascinating rivalry in this new and exciting era for the sport of boxing.

Dmitry Bivol gets revenge against Artur Beterbiev in undisputed light heavyweight title rematch

The fairytale is over for Josh Padley after he was stopped in the ninth round by WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson in Riyadh. 

Arriving in the Saudi Arabian capital on a few days' notice, the odds were stacked against Padley, but his courage is something that has to be applauded. 

Right from the opening bell there was a clear gulf in class. While Padley was hesitant to commit, Stevenson was quick to bring his lightening quick jab into the contest against the full-time electrician.

	</li>
</ul>

Stevenson’s speed continued to be a problem for Padley with a sharp left-right combination landing in the second. Frustratingly, Stevenson did not continue to assert his dominance until round five where he finally threw an eye-catching left hand which landed flush on Padley.

Padley tried to answer back with his own combinations in the sixth, but Stevenson could smell blood. The American’s punches were now carrying plenty of spite with a body shot hurting Padley towards the end of the round.

Round nine saw Stevenson drop Padley three times with body shots and in the end the latter's corner had seen enough, throwing in the towel and bringing this world title fight to an early end. 

<h2>Shakur Stevenson needs to fight Gervonta Davis to become a major star - Analysis from Christopher Walker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia</h2>

Stevenson may need a major name if he’s to transform his skills into a bigger profile and someone like Gervonta Davis would certainly fit the bill.

Stevenson has achieved plenty in his career, and he will accomplish more, but the time is now for him to become a major star and that will require much better oppoennts than Josh Padley.

The Yorkshireman may one day become a champion himself after expressing himself in such an incredible manner these last few days and ewhateber rewards come his way are deserved.

Rebuilding back in Britain towards a domestic title crack is one option, but the experience of a show like this will give him the hunger to push for a return to this grand stage in the near future.

Shakur Stevenson defends WBC lightweight title with stoppage win over Josh Padley

Carlos Adames has retained his WBC middleweight title despite his bout with Hamzah Sheeraz after the bout ended in a split draw. 

Unfortunately for Sheeraz, it was a fight which he struggled to impose himself with Adames managing to make the contest a tough watch. 

A tense opening round saw Adames and Sheeraz give very little away, there were a few left hands thrown by Sheeraz, but none that made any significant inroads.

</ul>

Adames was looking to command the ring in round two and subtly forced Sheeraz back towards the ropes with small steps. Sheeraz’s defence held firm, but Adames managed to land right-left combination which was followed shortly by a right hand to close the second.

Round four saw both men land right hands, but Sheeraz closed out the round on top. Gliding around the ring, a Sheeraz combination landed successfully with Adames struggling to get a foothold.

Momentum began to swing towards Adames once he started to hit Sheeraz’s body and in the eighth an Adames right hand hurt the British fighter who had lost control of the contest.

Adames was on top until the final bell with frustration growing in Sheeraz's corner with his team and promoter Frank Warren urging him to let his hands go. 

In the end, one judge scored the contest 115-114 in Sheeraz's favour, another scored it 118-110 to Adames whilst the third judge scored the contest a 114-114 draw.

Carlos Adames

Hamzah Sheeraz

Carlos Adames retains WBC middleweight title against Hamzah Sheeraz in shock split draw

Vergil Ortiz Jr moved to 23-0 on Saturday night in Riyadh with a unanimous decision win over former WBA light welterweight champion Israil Madrimov. 

With Ortiz Jr and Madrimov talented fighters, it was cagey opening round with neither man giving much away. Madrimov’s movement was a frustration for Ortiz Jr. The Uzbek never stayed in the same position for a millisecond, making it difficult for Ortiz Jr to get any footing and land the power punches which have aided his rise through the ranks.

Madrimov was looking very comfortable, and in the third he began to throw some punches of his own with quick jabs. Ortiz Jr meanwhile was quiet when it came to his activity.

</ul>

Round four saw Ortiz Jr beginning to increase the pressure, and he managed to land a few left hands on a constantly moving Madrimov. The fifth saw Madrimov stand with Ortiz Jr and attempt to trade.

Ortiz Jr landed several jabs, but as the round progressed, Madrimov took plenty of pop shots with the right hand as Ortiz Jr continued to apply pressure.

Round six saw Ortiz Jr find success, especially with two left hooks to the body, with the first being felt by Madrimov who lost the ‘bounce’ in his footwork which was evident in the earlier rounds.

A whipping right hand from Madrimov in round eight saw him wrestle back momentum after a period of dominance from Ortiz Jr.

The American was on the offensive in the ninth. Right hands to the body slowed down Madrimov who was being drawn into a dog fight and Ortiz Jr made sure the round was his with quickfire combinations which snapped back Madrimov’s head.

Ortiz Jr continued to be in the ascendancy and round 10 saw him produce a perfect left hook to the head and then the body, something straight out of training camp. Ortiz Jr’s dominance was not the only thing Madrimov had to contend with the Uzbek picking up an injury to his nose.

Both men’s conditioning has to be commended with a close final two rounds, and Ortiz Jr left his mark in the twelfth with a thumping right uppercut which stunned Madrimov.

Madrimov's strong start was one which he failed to capitalise with Ortiz Jr and his team able to adapt to the constantly moving Uzbek. By landing plenty of punches to slow down Madrimov and draw him into trading blows, Ortiz Jr's superior power came out on top and secured him a win on all three judges' scorecards with scores of 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113. 

<h2>Vergil Ortiz Jr may have to wait for big fight, Israil Madrimov fails on big stage - Analysis from Christopher Walker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia</h2>

Ortiz may well be the world’s best 154lbs fighter, but he may have to wait for Jaron Ennis to move up before he features in a major fight again.

The Texan will want to pursue a possible showdown with Terence Crawford, but with the pound-for-pound star only focused on Canelo Alvarez, Ortiz may have to look elsewhere.

For Madrimov, he may struggle for to find the spotlight again following two losses and the Ortiz display largely being negative.Madrimov has plenty of skills, but his reluctance to be aggressive and take risks has now cost him big in two huge fights.

Vergil Ortiz Jr.

Israil Madrimov

Vergil Ortiz Jr overcomes Israil Madrimov after thrilling 12-round battle

Blood trickling down his left cheek following <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/vergil-ortiz-jr-overcomes-israil-madrimov-after-thrilling-12-round-battle/151i3cugp40uq1ex26i2ksjp5e">a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over Israil Madrimov</a>, Vergil Ortiz Jr. made sure to put Terence Crawford and the rest of the super welterweight world champions on further notice that he wants all the smoke.

After judges at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and live on DAZN, scored it 117-111, 115-113  and 115-113 in his favor Saturday night, the interim WBA 154-pound champion let it be known that he’ll never duck a challenge.

“We just want to show that we’re the best at 154 and we say yes to everybody,” Ortiz, who improved to 23-0 (21 knockouts), told <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/p/boxing">DAZN’s Chris Mannix</a> inside the ring.

	<li>Read next | <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/dmitry-bivol-gets-revenge-against-artur-beterbiev-in-undisputed-light-heavyweight-title-rematch/rrz97218a1kp1kccqy6ifo3xg">Dmitry Bivol gets revenge against Artur Beterbiev in undisputed light heavyweight title rematch</a></li>
</ul>

He tacked on for good measure: “I just want to fight the best. Everyone who [His Excellency] Turki [Alalshikh] gives me, I say yes. You can ask him yourself, I’ve never ducked anybody, no matter what anybody says.”

When Ortiz says he’s “the best at 154” it is in opposition to popular thought which has WBA super welterweight world champion Crawford as the class of the division and arguably the pound-for-pound best boxer in the sport today.

Sebastian Fundora is the unified WBC/WBO super welterweight world champion, while Bakhram Murtazaliev is the IBF titleholder of the division.

That said, on Saturday night, the 26-year-old Ortiz furthered his case for a bigger fight, considering he handed Madrimov a unanimous decision defeat, powered by a relentless attack to the body.

Prior to that, Madrimov had a solid showing against Crawford in an August 2024 fight which “Bud” won by unanimous decision.

Terence Crawford

Vergil Ortiz Jr. sends a stern message to Terence Crawford and the rest of super welterweight division

Agit Kabayel maintains his unbeaten record after stopping Zhilei Zhang in the sixth round of their heavyweight contest in Riyadh. 

With the WBC's interim heavyweight title at stake, and the fact that Zhang and Kabayel are heavy hitters, it was unlikely this fight would go the full distance. 

Zhang imposed himself in round one and established his power early. Zhang, who fights in a southpaw stance, was causing plenty of problems with his backhand and it surprised Kabayel who felt ‘Big Bang’s’ power early.

Kabayel stepped up in round two, being very active and landing numerous shots on to Zhang’s body. The Chinese heavyweight made sure to keep Kabayel on notice with an uppercut highlighting the danger if the German went toe-to-toe with Zhang for too long.

<ul>
	<li>Read next | <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-GB/news/boxing/dmitry-bivol-gets-revenge-against-artur-beterbiev-in-undisputed-light-heavyweight-title-rematch/rrz97218a1kp1kccqy6ifo3xg">Dmitry Bivol gets revenge against Artur Beterbiev in undisputed light heavyweight title rematch</a></li>
</ul>

Kabayel continued chop at Zhang’s body in rounds three and four, and this tactic was taking effect on Zhang who was taking deep breaths whenever he could. For Kabayel, this strategy was clearly working.

While Zhang was showing clear signs of tiredness, he can never be counted out and floored Kabayel in the fifth with a left hand. There was a shocked expression across the face of Kabayel and it was no surprise that he was cautious for the rest of the round.

The Kabayel body attack continued in round six and a shot to the body early on took the wind out of Zhang, and marked the beginning of the end for 'Big Bang'. 

With Zhang barely able to stand, Kabayel took this opportunity with both hands and a right hand to the body forced Zhang to take a knee. As the referee began his count, there was no chance Zhang was going to get back to his feet with the Chinese heavyweight wincing in pain. 

This win further cemented Kabayel's status as a legitimate contender in the heavyweight division and is now in line to face unified champion Oleksandr Usyk who was sat ringside. 

<h2>Zhang's world title dreams over - Analysis from Christopher Walker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia</h2>

Zhang may still get opportunities as he is an entertaining fighter who always provides a threat, but his world title dreams are likely over.

After losing to Jospeh Parker last year, Zhang responded well to defeat Deontay Wilder, but the manner of his loss to Kabayel will be hard to come back from.

Kabayel’s dream of becoming world champion goes on and he is surely guaranteed a world title shot at some point in 2025 following an excellent run of form.

The German is still unbeaten and with the disvsion eager to find new stars, Kabayel could be one who may stick around for the next few years following his recent performances.

Agit Kabayel

Zhilei Zhang

Agit Kabayel stops Zhilei Zhang in hard-hitting heavyweight fight

Joshua Buatsi suffered the first defeat of his professional boxing career on Saturday night after losing to fellow Brit Callum Smith in a gruelling contest. 

Buatsi fired off his jab in the first round, whilst Smith looked to target the body with his trademark left hooks. Very little separated the two British stars, but Buatsi looked sharper, even in the clinches the former Olympian was able to sneak shots through and catch Smith by surprise.

Buatsi was on the front foot in the second, backing Smith on to the ropes who struggled to escape and took a Buatsi left hook well. Buatsi continued his activity in round three and while Smith was taking a lot of punches to his arms, there is only so long until an opening presented itself.

Buatsi did exactly that with left hand to the body which was felt by Smith who briefly bent over. Smith managed to recover and land a right hand of his own to end the third.

</ul>

Round four saw Smith continue his assault to Buatsi’s body, and his punches were now being felt by Buatsi whose arms tightened in anticipation of what was coming. The effects of this contest began to take effect with a cut emerging by Smith’s right eye. A Smith left hook at the end of the round ended what was the Liverpudlian’s best period of the fight so far.

Smith quickly gained confidence and round five was another which he dominated. Buatsi’s sharpness which served well at the start of the fight had faded, perhaps down to Smith’s well targeted body punches.

Round six was a thrilling one. Smith was landing with ease and a right hand stunned Buatsi prompting a barrage of Smith left hooks. While Buatsi showed signs of struggle, he made to let everyone know he will not be that easy to get rid of, stunning Smith with a left hook of his own to close the round.

Buatsi and Smith took the foot off the gas in round seven, then in the eighth a right-left combination from Smith landed before Buatsi snapped back his opponent’s head with left hand.

Two big right hands from Smith were the highlight in round nine, but he was unable to follow these up with exhaustion beginning to creep in. Buatsi continued to keep his hopes alive a stiff jab in the closing seconds.

The message was clear from Buatsi’s corner heading into the tenth, a knockout was needed to win. Buatsi emerged with emphasis and was back to walking Smith down landing shots aplenty. Smith on the other hand was kept quiet and had to weather the storm which came his way.

Buatsi was in the ascendancy in round 11 with his jab and right hands taking their effect on Smith in the championship rounds. Smith managed to land a right uppercut, but the trend continued with Smith unable to follow these up with more hard-hitting punches in an attempt to finish the contest early.

Whenever a high-profile contest enters the twelfth and final round, fighters leave everything in the ring. A Smith left hook, right hand combination prompted his promoter Eddie Hearn to stand ringside and give every ounce of support to his man. Then came the pair swinging in the centre of the ring with Smith having the last say with a left hook which rocked a tired and exhausted Buatsi.

All three judges scored the fight in Smith's favour with scores of 119-110, 115-113 and 116-112.

A strong second half from Smith and the lack of sharpness from Buatsi which dominated the early stages saw the Liverpudlian become the new interim WBO light heavyweight champion in Riyadh. 

<h2>What next for Callum Smith? - Analysis from Christopher Walker in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia</h2>

With victory, Smith now has plenty of options moving forward, but there may be a big demand to see that fight for a second time due to the excitement it contained.

175lbs is heating up and Smith may wish to fight for a world tilte after last year’s setback to Beterbiev and that could include a showdown with the likes of Dmitry Bivol and David Benavidez. For Buatsi, he loses his unbeaten record, but he will have won the respect of many with such a gutsy performance and he may believe he could settle the score in an immediate rematch.

As it stands, the night belongs to Smith and he has earned the right to choose his own path following a heroic showing that fans will not forget in a hurry.
