When is the Rematch?

The Last Crescendo boxing card is scheduled for Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol is likely to start at 11 pm following the event’s fantastic undercard.

Who is Most Likely to Win the Fight?

As Artur Beterbiev won the fight against Dmitry Bivol in October 2024, it makes sense that he is the bookies’ favorite to win the rematch this February.

The 40-year-old Russian Canadian boxer handed Dmitry the first defeat of his career but failed to win by knockout.

As a result, he claimed Bivol’s WBA world light heavyweight belt, adding to his WBO, WBC, and IBF world light heavyweight titles.

Beterbiev’s fighting style could help them enjoy success in the ring during the rematch, as he has proven time and again that he is controlled under pressure, displays good distance control, and has quick footwork.

After the first fight, Dmitry Bivol admitted Artur Beterbiev was a tough opponent and would often easily block his punches.

He said, “He is powerful, very powerful. And you can see, I have a bruise on my hand. He always beat it, and it was so hard. Even he reached my eye.”

Could Dmitry Bivol Win the Rematch?

Many believe Beterbiev’s age might go against him, and 34-year-old Bivol is arguably much faster on his feet and can match his Soviet boxing style in the ring.

After all, he is known for his high-volume punching and technical prowess, which could help him win the bout.

Not to mention, Dmitry will have a point to prove during the rematch, as he will be eager to confirm that last year’s defeat was a mere blip on an otherwise flawless record.

Many boxing fans and experts believe he has what it takes to reclaim the light heavyweight title, as the first match divided opinion.

For example, Eddie Hearn, Matchroom’s promoter, is convinced Dmitry Bivol should have won the 2024 bout against Artur Beterbiev.

He said, “He threw significantly more. I think on five of the metrics, in seven of the rounds, he beat him. Punches that land, things like that, and aggression.”

Many professional fighters were quick to share their disagreement with Beterbiev’s win, too.

For example, Andre Ward, the former undisputed light heavyweight champion, said, “Bivol won that fight! 116-112 is crazy!”

Also, the Russian fighter was gracious following his defeat and didn’t hesitate to accept a rematch. Instead of criticizing Beterbiev or the judges’ decision, Bivol made a promise to train harder for the rematch, and his efforts could pay off this February.

However, boxing fans will need to wait patiently until the two fantastic fighters return to the ring for an exciting rematch on February 22, 2025.

If you believe Dmitry Bivol will win the rematch against Artur Beterbiev on February 22, 2025, you could win $202 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
