Arthur has a professional record of 23-1 with his only loss coming against Anthony Yarde. After this, the boxer had a powerful streak of four victories. But it’s worth noting that the level of opposition was pretty mediocre. At the same time, Lyndon is considered a brilliant puncher. He completed 16 fights ahead of schedule, in which he was completely superior to his opponents. Lyndon holds the IBO light heavyweight title. And in ESPN’s ratings for his division, Arthur ranks ninth.

The last time Bivol stepped into the ring was on November 5, 2022, when he confidently faced Gilberto Ramírez. The victory was achieved by unanimous decision of the judges: 118-110, 117-111 (twice). And before that, Dmitry powerfully defeated Saúl Álvarez 115-113 (three times). But it’s worth noting that the downtime really took a while. Many expected Bivol to immediately fight Artur Beterbiev. But the Russian had a great chance to bounce back in the Doomsday tournament.

Bivol entered the fray with the cult song “Blood Type” performed by Viktor Tsoi. The Russian immediately attacked his opponent hard and began to put pressure on him. You could see the complete confidence with which Dmitry moved forward. Arthur tried to respond, but at the same time he complained and experienced great difficulty. Lindon also constantly tried to clinch, he was afraid to engage in open exchanges of blows. Bivol sensed the distance and began to squeeze his opponent, throwing combinations.

And then the domain began to take on terrifying proportions. Time and time again, Dmitry surprised his opponent with powerful attacks. He literally shot her with multi-punch combinations. At one point, the Russian simply gathered his courage and began to literally beat the lost Briton. The image of the fight did not change from the word “at all.” King Arthur was forced to literally save himself and hold on. Dmitry was aiming for a knockout, so he continued to apply constant pressure, literally not stopping.

In the seventh round, Bivol’s advantage ceased to raise doubts. He literally defeated his opponent, surpassing him in every aspect. The Russian did not give himself a second to think. He simply pressed on and continued to constantly pester his opponent with punches. At the same time, one cannot help but notice Arthur, that he lost in all respects, but he continued to resist and resist. And immediately after the gong that ended the round, Lindon smiled at Dmitry and walked confidently towards his corner.

The German broke Arslanbek’s body and caused surprise:

The three-minute eighth period went very well for Arthur: he showed excellent footwork and responded very well with his own attacks. But Dmitry quickly regained the absolute advantage from him and again began to literally strangle his opponent. As soon as the Brit opened up a little, he immediately received a plethora of slaps for all tastes. It was clear that the fight was moving calmly towards Bivol’s victory. But the Russian really wanted to achieve a quick victory.

And in the eleventh round the efforts paid off. A precise blow to the liver forced Lyndon to his knees. But Arthur was very lucky, because there were only a few seconds left before the gong would ring. And in the twelfth round, the Russian continued to hit his opponent, because he really wanted to finish the matter. And he had no intention of letting his opponent go. And yet, Arthur survived, demonstrating incredible resilience.

The case came to a judge’s decision, but there was no intrigue there. All the judges gave the victory to the Russian. Bivol remains undefeated and continues on his way. Is only Beterbiev ahead?
