With a little more than two months to go for his career’s most important fight, Dmitry Bivol looked sharper than ever as he landed some precision punches in a workout video. While the video gives an insight into how hard he’s training to defeat Artur Beterbiev, fans seem to be convinced that he has it in him to do what none have been able to do yet. But will his prowess shine through on fight night?

In Beterbiev, Bivol sees a challenge like never before. Bivol, who in 2022 defeated Canelo Alvarez, will have to gear up to face a fighter, who’s not just undefeated, but has won all his 20 fights through KOs. Coupled with this pressure, there is also the undisputed status on the line, that the Russian fighter has been chasing. How does he prepare for this uber-important undertaking? This video provides an insight.

Dmitry Bivol is “fluid on the pads”

Boxing reporter, Michael Benson uploaded a workout video of the IBO/WBA light heavyweight champion on X, which was sourced from his social media. In it, Bivol can be seen being hyper-energetic, pacing around the gym, and going hard at the pads. The combination of precision and hard-hitting jabs and hooks made an impact on the one leading the mitts.

The workout mirrored his caliber. The 33-year-old phantom is notorious for his hit-and-move style that has on multiple occasions, inflicted damage on his opponent whilst deflecting incoming jabs. However, against his Canadian opponent, who is known for his heavy punches, it will be interesting to see if Bivol can survive. While these concerns remain, fans, however, in unison believe their fighter is ready for the historic matchup.

“He’s so physical”

In the upcoming months, some of the most asked-for fights take their course. We have the Ryan Garcia- Devin Haney clash, followed by Canelo Alvarez vs. Jaime Munguia, and then the ultimate showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Amidst these iconic clashes, the Bivol-Beterbiev undisputed light heavyweight clash seemed to be another one for the ages, which, according to a fan, is not getting the love they think it deserves.

Another user could not contain their excitement for the fight. As they expressed their impatience, they also predicted the outcome.

Impressed with the workout video, another fan thought the fighter was “so physical.”

A fan saw Bivol winning. They highlighted the premise upon which the icons of the light heavyweight class will face off: “Tactical.”

For another fan, the video was satisfying to watch. There is a consensus that Bivol’s style is unique. The way the fighter prances around the ring while throwing calculated punches seems precise and technical.

While fans remain confident that Bivol will defeat Beterbiev, the fight, however, from a strategic perspective remains neck-and-neck. It could go either way. It is Bivol’s evasive style against Beterbiev’s terrifyingly hard punches.
