Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs), boxing’s only world champion with a 100 percent knockout ratio, won the IBF world title in 2017 and has made eight title defences.

In June 2022, he stopped Joe Smith Jr. in the second round to add the WBO title to his collection.

Bivol (23-0, 12 KOs) has made 12 defences of the WBA belt, including a convincing decision over Canelo in May 2022.

Since the Canelo triumph, Bivol has notched one-sided victories over Gilberto Ramirez, Lyndon Arthur, and Malik Zinad.
