One of the best fights in boxing...if not the best given their styles. Would love to see it ASAP.

Bivol is planned to be on Kovalev vs Alvarez card, so they are probably preparing their fight.

Hopefully Beterbiev can get in that mix as well.

Definitely, but I don't expect they'll fast track it too much.

Kovalev is signed to fight Eleider Alvarez in July now I'm hearing, which is a solid matchup in it's own right, and gives Bivol more time to build his starpower.

Maybe they'll have Bivol on the undercard.

I think Kovalev goes out of his way to avoid the matchup.

Kovalev better make it soon because time is clearly on Bivol's side.

It would be good, no doubt. It would be even better if Bivol picked-up a win against another top 10 opponent (particularly Alvarez, Gvozdyk, or Beterbiev). Then it would be like a rushed semi-super fight. Like "hurry up and slap this super fight together before Kovalev gets too old."
