Dmitry Bivol's Bold Move: Relinquishing WBC Title for Beterbiev Trilogy

Dmitry Bivol gives up WBC title to aim for a third fight with Artur Beterbiev.

Dmitry Bivol has made a significant decision by vacating his WBC light-heavyweight world title just six weeks after becoming the undisputed champion. The reason? He is determined to pursue a third battle against Artur Beterbiev. Bivol previously defeated Beterbiev on 23 February, claiming revenge and multiple world titles. The WBC had ordered Bivol to fight David Benavidez next, but he is focused on the potential trilogy with Beterbiev. American fighter Benavidez, unbeaten in 30 bouts, has now been elevated to world champion status. Liverpool's Callum Smith is among those looking to face Benavidez after his February win over Joshua Buatsi.
