WBA champion Dmitry Bivol: Arthur is not the most famous boxer, but he is a good opponent – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

Bivol will make his sixth defense of his belt. Arthur’s IBO minor title will also be on the line in this fight.

“For the first time, my training took place entirely in Kyrgyzstan. The camp was a little shorter than usual, because we found out a little late about the fight date; we signed the contract a little late. Therefore, we stayed “In Kyrgyzstan, I abandoned the idea of ​​going to the USA. Everything seemed to be going well,” he says. Words from Dmitry, press service of the Russian Boxing Federation: – I had training partners similar to Arthur. Also tall, who I use my jab, counter right. Yes, Arthur is far from the most famous boxer, but at the moment he is a good candidate. “He is a good boxer. He wants to win.”

Bivol also admitted that he tries to abstract himself from the idea that only victory is expected of him.

“I don’t know what to expect from a fight… You always expect one thing, but it can turn out a little different,” said the champion. “I always try to think about my advantages, I try to implement what I can. Don’t invent completely new things, develop your qualities and use them.”
