Eddie Hearn is fully aware of the threat that Artur Beterbiev carries ahead of his upcoming unification fight with Dmitry Bivol.

On October 12, live on DAZN, all the marbles at 175lbs will be at stake as two of boxing’s best fighters collide.  

The pair have reached the top of the sport using different styles, and Hearn has had his say on the fight, which has the entire sport buzzing with excitement. 

“It’s a very tough fight. I believe he’s [Bivol] a slight favourite in the fight because I feel, skill-wise, he’s a better fighter than Artur Beterbiev,” said Hearn when speaking to Boxing News

“We’ve seen time and time again that Artur can sometimes lose rounds, but he just hunts you down.”
