Artur Beterbiev’s next fight takes place on Saturday, October 12th at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The undefeated light-heavyweight faces Dmitry Bivol for undisputed status at 175-pounds for all four world title belts.

After the Bivol fight, who will Artur Beterbiev’s next fight be against, when and where will it take place?

Artur Beterbiev Next Fight: When Is The Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol Undisputed Clash?

Boxing fans are in for a treat as the undisputed world light-heavyweight showdown between the unbeaten Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol takes centre stage in the latest Riyadh Season card in Saudi Arabia on October 12th.

All four world title belts are on the line for Beterbiev vs Bivol, meaning the 175-pound division will have a clear #1 and undisputed champion after the conclusion of the fight.

Artur Beterbiev’s next fight is indeed against fellow undefeated Dmitry Bivol, with the WBC, WBO and IBF World Light-Heavyweight Champion seen as the marginal favourite with the best UK betting sites.

Both Beterbiev and Bivol are undefeated, with Beterbiev currently 20-0 with 20 knockouts to his name. Should Artur Beterbiev’s next fight result in a victory over Bivol, he could well sail off into the sunset and retire as an all-time great, given that he is fast approaching 40-years-old.

If Beterbiev’s next fight and performance against Bivol is anything like his last, then he will be hard to stop. Beterbiev has ran through the likes of Callum Smith and Anthony Yarde of late, showing that he is by far and away the best 175-pound fighter on the planet. Or is he?

We’ll find out in the desert of Saudi Arabia very soon as Artur Beterbiev’s next fight takes centre stage at the Kingdom Arena, Riyadh on Saturday, October 12th.

Who Will Beterbiev’s Next Fight Be Against After Bivol?

Should Artur Beterbiev get past Dmitry Bivol, who is promoted by Matchroom Boxing CEO Eddie Hearn, he could well retire with a record of 21-0. At 39-years-old, Beterbiev’s next fight could be his last, especially if he is to win and then ride off into the sunset as one of the best light-heavyweight boxers of all time.

Although retirement looks near for Beterbiev, should he fight on, his next fight could perhaps be against the great Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. ‘Canelo’ has called for the Bivol rematch ever since he was defeated by the Russian light-heavyweight, but Beterbiev vs Canelo would make sense for May 2025 if Beterbiev comes through Bivol on October 12th.

This seems like the only real logical option for Artur Beterbiev, provided he beats Dmitry Bivol and fights on. If His Excellency Turki Alalshikh offers both Beterbiev and ‘Canelo’ ludicrous money for a super-fight, it could well happen next. Time will tell if this is the case and whether Artur Beterbiev’s next fight is indeed against the Mexican cash cow.

The best boxing betting sites in the UK would likely favour Beterbiev against ‘Canelo’, given the huge size and punch power advantage. This all depends on the result of Beterbiev’s next fight however against Dmitry Bivol in their undisputed light-heavyweight clash.
