Pbc been doing it.
Golden Boy
I appreciate Saudi tho.
@@michelleclark181pbc done nothing but protect and ruin thurmans n Errol’s career
@michelleclark181 nice joke 😅
Boxing fans are in for a big fucking treat with this one!
💯
Mmm treats
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh yeh this is a boxing fans treat !
As big as figbt you can make in the sport. Not on name recognition but the two best.
Man i think people don't realize how sick this fight is... As if Khabib vs Islam would fight...
Причем тут Хабиб Ислам? Ты что несёшь?
@@user-uk1zp2zy5dI didn't understand it either, but I think he meant it will be a boring fight!! I, on the other hand, believe that it will be a very tactical match, but my support is for Beterbiev and a knockout machine.
More like khabib vs khamzat beterbiev is khamzat Bivol is khabib
Ye mean khabib vs conor 2 right?
Silly mma fan
Beterbiev really said: "i see another belt" this dude is not playin around 😂
Is this the same card as the 5 vs 5 this between Matchroom and queensberry?
@@TheOpinionSports Yep, it's gonna be great.
@@TheOpinionSportsyeah, one of the best cards of the year
Yeah another belt that he won't win
Right 😂😂😂😂
Dmitry Bivol is quiet, humble, and does not put down his opponents with treshtalk. To me that is more dangerous slient killer than anyone else.
Bingo
ggg vibes
Artur the same.
you can say the same abut Arthur. so its basically a none sense praise for him in this fight lol.
He reminds me of Marvin Hagler . I don't want to talk and will let my fists do the talking !!!. This is going to be one hell of a fight . The stronger man will win.
My brain is with Beterbiev, but my heart is with Bivol.
Damn right ! im actually unsure on what i feel about this fight, But you made it clear.
Same here
❤ Bivol!
@@brianmonzon1027to be honest with you.. Thats how am feeling right now 😢
5 years ago, I would have easily picked Beterbiev But I'm not too sure now
People are already writing Bivol off but this man is true warrior at heart I honestly see the toughest night for Bertebiev in his career. Either way what a fight !!
Writing Bivol off?? In what sports books are you looking at. He's not an underdog anywhere, 50/50 fight... although according to this press conference looks like Beterbiev is already writing him off. Not really, but Beterbiev looks like he's FORREAL man. Looks like he has ALL the confidence in the world on this one.
He know bivol style realy well. @@wtconstruction1211
Whoever writes Bivol off against Berterbiev knows nothing about boxing. I love Berterbiev, but against Bivol? It's gonna be a hell of a fight. But Berterbiev for me.
They're going to be surprised because Bivol is not a push over..
I am team Bivol all the way…
This is pure elite fighting. No trash talk no drama just pure boxing.
His excellency is saving boxing!
Excellency
Il sauve la boxe alors qu’il devrait sauver ses frères palestiniens, victimes de genocide depuis 75 ans, c’est un guignol

@@google4searchsure you're from Saudi lil buddy
Got to love Artur. A man of few words. Doesn’t need to speak that much when he hits that hard ❤🤣🤲🏽
@@Dr.Impulseafter Usyk vs Fury what?
I would like to know to 🤣
I think he is a jerk. Very disrespectful. Bivol on the other hand is a class act. God Bless
Bivol is arrogant and can’t wait for King Artur to put his lights out
@@jeromyzwiers1452 i know you feel this way but to be fair Beterbiev feels cheated of the years he's been waiting for Bivol and he's itching to fight and ready.
Both guys seem very confident in their own manner
Yeah both are ultra confident.
Artur shows greater confidence in this conference and keeps teasing Bivol. I felt some nervousness from Bivol.
@@luishenrycamacho3159I thinks it’s cause his English not good as him
@@luishenrycamacho3159that might come back to bite him.
@@luishenrycamacho3159being nervous is sometimes good… But being scared then it’s a problem… So nervous is fine
Can’t wait best fight of the year two humble great athletes. Hard to root against either of them
💯 nailed it may the best man win, this fight is going to be an absolute belter
YA NOT ROOTING FOR EITHER. JUST WANNA SEE THE FIGHT =D
And it’s free
Nailed it mate !! Let’s go artur!! All respect bivol , bivol is wary 💯
And they both in they primes rn on winning streaks looking impressive we haven't been getting that often at all in boxing lately this is the best fight this year
I love it lol “he know already”……”I do not know already”
Knoukout he means
This is fight of the decade
@@PaulPua🙄
Respect to Saudi Arabia for making the biggest fight happen. You guys are making so many boxing fans happy and we much appreciate it. This is one of the most anticipated fight im looking for
You want to live in Saudi arabia ? Very good place to live
Biggest fight in Boxing. I'd be very surprised if this isn't FOTY.
Skillwise it will be, but not in terms of drama. Hope I’m wrong 😂
@@TC8787-yq7ogno drama? You arguably have the pfp hardest hitter in the planet against one of the most technical fighters on the planet battling to be undisputed
@@RayRayRay0 yeah these fights can sometimes fail to ignite into FOTY candidates. I’m 100% looking forward to it but it could easily be a chess match too.
Sheesh, guys, this might even be the fight of the decade
Easy
The most awaited fight in the last 10 years. Hands down ! 2 pure breed warriors.
Agree this fight is worth paying
This and Usyk/Fury. Strange that Usyk/Beterbiev also have some history. Two of the sports best fighters in it's entire history.
Why? 2 boxers from former soviet countries, rhey seems boring as persons and I disagree that they are something super special.. how can you say that?!
@janisberzins3060 they're boring to you because they don't have bad blood or not a great conference. But for me it will be one of the best fights because we are sure that they are both really going to hurt each other that's a guarantee. Unlike Shakur vs davis or floyd vs somebody else there is no assurance that both fighter will give us a show.
@@HandsomeSloth24 People have a massive bias in favor of US/UK boxers who talk trash in fake bravado. Few people understand Russians and hold a massive grudge over them, especially now. If Beterbiev were American or British, he would've been heralded as P4P #1 years ago and be called the greatest knockout artist in the sport's history.
Im a beterbiev fanboy for 10 years. Rooting for him 100 % but cant say id be more than happy with bivol winning. Such a class act , and fantastic boxer.
I've been following AB for 12 years. I pray he wins 🙏
I like bivol very much but beterviev becoming undisputed with perfect record with a 100% ko ratio is something different and if he wins, it would be legendary
hes old with slow feet even when he was young.
Beterbiev is a monster, but Bivol is a generational boxer...Bivol by unanimous decision.
marvinumanzor512 If he fights the perfect fight then yes. But Bivol has to be perfect. You can’t make big mistakes against Beterbiev.
@@gamersinger5118 Beterbiev has that aggressive but technical style to beat Bivol. He counters in ways that confuses me
@@someskinnydude100 This is the biggest test for either guy. It's why this is one of the best boxing matchups that could happen.
Who’s bivol fought you clown
If Bivol can control the middle of the ring and avoid a slugging match he will build up a huge points win.
Man I love how they are both very polite and positive lol real sportsman💪
Beterbiev thinks that he has already won the fight. I like Artur but Bivol is the most intelligent fighter that I have seen. Artur loves a scrap but Bivol will not be drawn into one.
Arthur: "if he dies he dies" Arthur has crazy power
You're sleeping on how skilled Bivol is. This is an excellent matchup.
People think Beterbiev is arrogant or overconfident. I feel it's more about his inability to express himself well in English. He should be encouraged to speak his native language and then it's translated, one would be able to better understand his thought processes.
Yeah? Let me tell you this: In his native language he is arrogant even more arrogant.
Amazing. No trash talking, no anger, no threats, no assaults. Both respectful. Both of them, foreigners, speak better and more comprehensive English than many native Americans. Two skilled boxer/punchers who will go about their trade in the ring with no annimosity torward one another. Guarantee there will be no costumes, no rap music, no gyrations, in their ring walks. What you see is what you get.
"I can not be defeated" is the best way to describe this fight 😂😂😂
Never underestimate Bivol,he is a tactical and a tough fighter, Beterbiev is flat footed though he hits hard but I can't see him knocking out Bivol.
That's true
Flat footed 😂😂😂 don’t know who you been watching
Beterbiev is far from flat footed
Beterbiev is NOT flat footed. If he was he wouldnt be able to cut of the ring like he does 😂
Do you watch boxing ? Or maybe all you watching is ksi vs tomy fury 😅, he is beterbiev he is ranking 1 in the world amateur boxing in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 world champion amateur boxing at heavyweight he beat usyk also hurt him at body shot however usyk cn beat the count he mastered every aspec of boxing skill just because he knockout all his opponent he skill same with deontay wilder beterbiev not one punch he destroy his opponent by outbox them and breaking the opponent little by little every round untill they could not take the punishment he have very powerfull punch in skill bivol ad beterbiev very equal but beterbiev have bigger enggine that generate more power its like bivol as yamaha vs ducati as beterbiev
He’s gaslighting Bivol to think he knows😂😂
He def knows 😂
@@undbiter65he has no idea. Completely unaware. Pure ignorance
@@souldry bivol has done many interviews over the years that prove he indeed knows 🤣
@@youngerudit2524link?
Well somebody knows something.
You know what they say its the quiet ones you have to worry about but in this rare occasion both people who want to fight are quiet 🤣 i think this ones going to be historic 👊⚡👊
They have a lot of respect for eachother, they know how much of a threat they pose to eachother
@@ar.3timee they probably respect each other as people not to talk sht like Ryan and Devin but a fighters nah it seems like Arthur isn't worried even if bivol does turn out to be a problem and Bivol alway has this demeanor like he's not arrogant but he knows what he's capable of and he's not worried about his opponent neither
That’s the thing about these two. They do all their talking in the most important way. With actions, in the ring.
Bivol has the style to frustrate Beterbiev into mistakes imo. Another factor is that Bivol never seems to get tired
Yes, but Beterbiev has a better cardio than Canelo, he ain't getting tired very easily. Another factor to consider is that Beterbiev hits soo hard he breaks through people's defenses while simultaneously inflicting some serious damage. I'd say this: If Bivol masterplays every round then, Bivol's victorious. If Bivol mistakens on his defence, Beterbiev has the victory.
accurate like what he did to canelo
💯 true. Bivol is an inexhaustibly hauned machine. His style will sure frustrate Arthur who might get fed up instead of enduring. What he did to Canelo can be repeated with him
@@HSO-ro3bd arthur has horrible feet bivol has feet like a lightweight. hes going to be hitting arthur ahile moving in and out side to side , arthur will walk into a shot and go down maybe he stays down maybe he doesnt we will see
@@HSO-ro3bdi dont thin Bivol relies heavily on his guard tho. His defense is backing up while punching or stepping out at the right time. But if beterbiev traps him against the ropes he’s prolly toast. But bivol has much better footwork meaning he’d prolly ring control all rounds
I know this may be an unpopular opinion but winner of this fight is at minimum top 5 light heavyweight of all time 🤷🏾♂️
Couldn’t agree more
Best light heavyweight of all time easily lol
@@maskedsage2871 idk. You think the winner would be better than Bob Foster or Ezzard Charles?
@@vince11harris Bob foster would have killed both these men on the same night.. EASY !
Definitely will be in the top 10 discussion years from now especially if it's Artur with his 100 percent ko streak and retiring undefeated.
Can't wait for 1st of June. It's going to be explosive 🔥
artur beterbiev P4P ☝🏻🦁 masha'allah
Dream match 🙌
This is the fight of the Decade. Be ready for 1 , 2 and 3 😊
Same
I don't why you think there's going to be 3. Bivol will retire before Beterbiev.
@@user-hr7me1sl2h beterbive is old so I doubt that
Noone lose here. We all won, period. 🙌
This is the most important fight since Crawford - Spence. Great to see real warriors get into the ring with each other.
Bivol by knockout, he's the world's best fighter 😮
@@BrianStewart-vr7wz😂 ull find out why he said bivol knows
@@danieldiez1819 bivol heard all that shit b4 and being 6 yrs younger he's in his prime ,your man's too slow 🐌 💀 😂
@@BrianStewart-vr7wzBivol hasn't knocked out many opponents. I doubt he does that to Berbetiev who's won every pro fight by knockout
Spence was washed af after the car accident. Overrated fight.
This Is the real boxing !!!
when heart and mind battle. There could only be one heart and mind on June 1 2024. Go Beterviev . Go Bivol... Show the world what true boxing pugilist is all about...GOD bless to both of you...
thats probably the scariest face off ever lol
Both are killers
Bivol stinks the place up, nothing killer about him. Beterbiev meanwhile, is the real killer.
@@FactsandReelsForall no need to point fingers who stinks here - in comment section
@@FactsandReelsForall your mother stinks, that who stinks for real
@@FactsandReelsForall try to fight him and tell us about it after 😂
This is gonna be one for the ages! Wouldn’t be surprised one bit if this fight is talked about 30 years from now
I think Beterbiev was under the impression that Bivol did not want to fight him for all these years which is why it took them so long for the unification to take place.
Yea and he might be going into the fight with blind confidence.
Bivol and DAZN were trying to age him out.
I have never seen Bivol scared of anyone.
@@kimcousins1125 Beterbiev
"I don't know already" 😂😂

Hola bby , give me your Instagram
Both are highly skilled boxer, only Beterbiev has tremendous power.

2024 FIGHT OF THE YEAR
Finally this fight is Happening. Perfect timing
I got my money on my boy BIVOL ! Let's goooo🥊
Pls dont out ur money up bcuz bivol getting ko yall casuals argument I'd that beat canelo 😂
@@TitoAranda-md9rocasuals don’t even know these 2 guys. You dumb if you don’t give bivol a chance it’s a 50/50 fight
@@esdrasmanrique6457 on paper it's a 50 50 but trust me whe they enter than ring its not a 50 50, after this fight u learn not to call big fights 50 50, wth that being spence crawford and now bivol beteriev
@@esdrasmanrique6457most casuals know bivol cause he beat alvarez and to think he can beat someone like beterbiev who is maxed out in cardio and power is just absurd. Once bivol enters the ring and sees gets hit like he never got before he will regret not aging beterbiev out even more. Dude was getting tagged by exhausted and injured alvarezand smith jr he was clinching 😂 no way anyone with brain believes he has chances against a ko artist. Beterbiev by tko inside 10 🥊
You're probably Rican or central American. That is why you go for bivol because before he beat caseload you had no clue who bivol was.... casual
Theses are two of the best hands down, they both win at the end of the day. Glad we get to see this fight
Incredible matchup!! I cannot wait to watch!🔥🥊
Do you have a msg for dimitry? Artur:he knows already 😂 What a killer
Both men are showing a lot of respect and class. That's how it should always be.
The 2 best boxer in the world in their weight class with whom no one can do anything , this must be the most powerful fight in recent years !
Let’s go beterbiev my boy going in ruthless!
Saluting Saudi for making all the amazing fights.
Wow I haven’t been this excited for a fight in a long time this is going to be amazing 😁😁🔥🔥
Either bivol by UD, either beterbiev by KO. I'm a fan of both guys. It's gonna be awesome 🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
CANT WAIT FOR A BIVOL MASTERCLASS
Can’t wait for King Artur to put his lights out 😂

@@user-rn8si3bo5w He will ahve to pin Bivol down. It won't happen. Bivol on points.
@@deisysanchez1641that's bivols only chance
Really looking forward to this showdown. Both credits to the sport whoever comes out on top.
THANKYOU FOR THIS FIGHT🎉
If two Russian fight for undisputed at 175lb, why Can't we get the Same for 168lb two mexicans for undisputed champions defending in September with Benavidez Vs. Canelo to see who's really the best
WE WILL HAVE TWO MEXICANS FOR UNDISPUTED AT 168 ONE FROM GUADALAJARA AND THE OTHER FROM TIJUANA. AND BENAVIDES IS NOT FROM MEXICO
You know this fight has been in the making for 6-7 yrs right
Benavidez is not Mexican FYI. He might have a percentage of blood but he's more Ecuadorian or more from the U.S.
Clenelo fan boys in the house 😅😅 the Mexican monster is hands down the best at 168 and soon to be undisputed at 175. That’s why clenelo is scared shitless to fight him 😢😢😢😢
@vincentcorrea3250 weight bully dick rider. You forgot benavidez lost his belts at 168 for not being able to make 168 a few years back. FYI benavidez should've been fighting at 175 a long time ago. He probably belongs at Cruiserweight. He was once heavyweight as his body is naturally bigger. Bet you didn't know. That's why he calls himself "Bandera Roja" Red flag . Let's see how he does against fighters his size. 🔥💯
Beterbiev is the final boss kinda fighter
This is the fight we have been waiting 🔥 🥊 🔥
This is a great match-up these guys are both elite level Edit: Going with Bivol UD
Scary stuff from beterbiev
this is Russian vs Russian i got Bivol by U.D
I really don't favor either fighter. I love them both. However, if I could predict the outcome, I'd like to see Bivol knock out Beterbiev; THAT would be the biggest surprise for all of us. May the BEST man win. 🥊
Bivol isn't Russian, just lives there
@@Jp-do9nyand beterbiev also dont grow and rise in russia if they haven’t colonized by soviet
@@mr.cannedble9724 You only know of these two fighters because they went through Soviet boxing school. Like it or not, colonizers are also winners.
They are both turkic just distant tribes.
I see Bivol winning this fight. He moves well and knows how to avoid danger while being close enough make the opponents pay for their mistakes. Zurdo is no Beterviev, but that fight showed how Bivol can be the aggressor against someone who is bigger, stronger and throws lots of punches.
This is how fighter should respect each other not the other way.
Beterbiev will get humbled he seems too cocky. Masterclass by Bivol on the way.
Its because bivol got a style he know well.
Both confident can won, for me I want Artur won.
Beterbiev is annoyed at Bivol for how long it took for the fight to happen
beterbiev 💪
@@benis164it was Bob Arum's fault based on the numerous interviews he had, where he mentioned that they are not interested in Bivol
THANK GOD THIS FIGHT IS HAPPENING. OOOH LAWD AMEN.
A truly strong man doesn't boast, swear, or show off before a fight. He is like a great flood - before it arrives, everything is calm.
Two monsters with enormous power between them. Pure respect, no thrash talk. This is going to be epic.
Bivol the bigger man beat Canelo by decision..Now he's facing a a true light heavy weight with crazy power and great ring skills.Beterbiev will end up getting his way and take the fight.
those flat feet will give bivol the win. bivol is the only lightweight right now that can punch while moving
“He know already”
That one simple statement. And the way he said it... Beterbiev is one scary man. Bivol gonna have to walk through fire and back to take his x3 straps, seriously.
@@wtconstruction1211you should see the first time he said that after his fight ba Callum smith. He took a deep breath and closed eyes rq then pointed at the camera and said "he knows…I’ll see you soon" lmao I know bivol shivered a little bit
CANT WAIT FOR THIS ONE !!!! BEEN A LONGGG TIME COMING !! LETSSS GOOOO !!!!!
Let's go Dmitry
Yes!!!!!!!! This is the fight of the year
Artur is a VERY DANGEROUS MAN!
For me this is win-win situation, I love both guys, Bivol is humble and superskilled, I like him because of that, and Beterbiev is just like fkn Terminator, this is going to be a fkn fight everyones been waiting for 💯 👌
Oh shit oh shit be still my heart
The BEST Puncher verses the BEST Boxer. Beterbiev is short on words, but lets his hands do the talking. However, Bivol is a MASTER BOXER who is unmistakably the MOST complete fighter; his amateur record is astounding! 268 wins - 15 losses Could be the fight of the century. We'll see. May the BEST man win.
This is the one we waited for so long these two legends of boxing need more respect 2024 fight of the year.
I like this two fighter theyre both humble,..the best wil prevail
ARTUR BORZ🔥
Clearly, Bivol needs to keep off the ropes to stand a chance against Artur.. good luck with that is my only thought. Respect to both, they've earned it.
He will
I agree, and I am certain that Bivol has done his homework. This is similar to the fight with Canelo, and I am sure that he will have the tactics just right for this one.
This is the true boxing. When the freak of nature meets the immovable object
Notice how nobody has mentioned beterbievs age but once bivol beats him “he was too old” 😂
Don't count on it .
@oBlvd you gotta be kidding right. Literally everyone who rooted against Beterbiev mention the age factor. Roy Jones Jr rooting for Bivol because of age factor. Every single bivol fanboy like you, i'm hearing the age factor. And you said no one said about age? LoL. Gtfo. Stip with your won narative fanboy. I'll comeback to this when beterbiev put your boy to sleep. All i know, anyone who have a little bit knowledge of boxing wouldnt root for bivol against beterbiev. Casual fanboys you are.
I’m convinced that Artur has metal knuckles underneath his skin.
This is the fight I've wanted to see most for a long time I genuinely don't care about any other fight right now just this one this has the potential to be very very special bring on June 1st 👍
This gonna be great. Bivol is the better boxer and has more weapons while beterbiev has a style that's perfect for him and he can take a few shots and has powerful ko power. As a boxing fan, you simply have to love this match.
Two powerful forces will clash only one will raise its hand, i admire both boxers but i think Artur is stronger.
These legend guys get lesser attention then jake paul vs mike tyson i really hate this generation
Your the only one who mentioned them dont think about it theres plenty of big fights coming

Best fight of the year by far. One of the best fights of all time honestly.
So bivol kept lying all the way along abt beterbiev running away 😂
Bivol never said Arthur was running. Eddie said that he was ready to organize this fight and Arum said that he isn't interested.
@@alco2758that is simply not true , Bivol and his team done everything in the books to avoid this fight and to make beterbiev aged

it is a really great fight, you sound really stupid rn
And you can keep projecting your shitty sweeping generalizations lol.
Always one who wants to talk nonsense. Just enjoy the fights lad
It was a one sided beat down, this is the real fight of the decade, two of the best in the world, bar none.
What if it it turns in a sided beatdown as well. Stop with the hate. @@tastygravy6880
