It used to be Beterbiev's fight. Now he's 39, and comming off injury. Bivol should win a UD.

Dazn in Spain is a chaos. One person from Dazn told me via chat that they don’t have the rights to this fight. The day after another person told me yes, they do. The event is in 2 weeks time and this fight does not appear anywhere in Dazn. Do you have the same issue?

So far Bivol appears to be the favourite here, but it's close.
As it should be.
I'm hoping for a Beterbiev win as I prefer his more aggressive style, but it's clear that he's not fought anyone in the same boxing class as Bivol before.
On the other hand Bivol won't have faced anyone like Beterbiev before.
This should be one of the fights of our generation.
I just hope it doesn't go the same way that Leonard v Duran 2 and 3 went.

North American viewers won’t need to pay anything more than their existing subscriptions to catch all of next week’s Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol Riyadh Season show. DAZN announced that the entire undercard will air on their standard site, no PPV required.
That said, at $15 compared to DAZN’s $19.99 monthly price, it’s cheaper to buy the PPV than to start a new DAZN subscription.
The featured attraction sees Fabio Wardley meet Frazer Clarke in a rematch of their grueling March draw. Chris Eubank Jr also makes his return against Kamil Szeremeta and Jai Opetaia defends his IBF title against Jack Massey ahead of an ordered mandatory. Ben Whittaker and Skye Nicholson see action as well.
The main event airs on ESPN+ stateside.
As I’ve said before, it’s a profoundly goofy arrangement. I’m not going to complain, though; I’d much rather have these sorts of options than a one-time $70-$80 investment for a card of similar quality.

I perhaps shouldn't complain because of the great main event, but the undercard is full of mismatches (except for Wardley-Clarke, which is an interesting fight).

You WILL NOT be able to watch the Beterbiev vs Bivol fight on DAZN or on the pay-per-view. That fight is exclusive to ESPN+ in the United States.
You also WILL NOT be able to watch the Beterbiev vs Bivol undercard on the ESPN+ broadcast.
The undercard — featuring Wardley vs Clarke 2, Chris Eubank Jr’s return, Opetaia vs Massey, Nicolson vs Chapman, and more — as part of your DAZN subscription. It will NOT cost extra on top of your DAZN sub to watch it on DAZN. This is all very dumb rights stuff, but that’s how it lays out.
Now if you’re in the UK, it looks like the show is a PPV period, so this DAZN/ESPN+ split only applies in the United States.

Key factor in this fight will be if Beterbiev can take Bivol punches. If he can, he will get KO in this. Dont think Bivol can outbox Beterbiev if he cannot hurt him. Im going in this with Artur by KO. Cannot wait for this ... NO BOXING, NO LIFE

The iconic hip-hop artist Missy Elliott will headline the opening of Riyadh’s 2024 season. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, October 12, led by the undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol at the Kingdom Arena.
Elliott, a multiple Grammy Award winner, will perform her biggest hits. Songs like “Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It,” and “The Rain” will be part of her setlist. This event is part of her “Out of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience” tour, her first headlining tour in over 25 years.
Since her 1997 debut with the album “Supa Dupa Fly,” Missy Elliott has been an influential figure in rap and hip-hop. Her work broke barriers, making her one of the first women to stand out in a predominantly male genre. Her impact was officially recognized last year when she became the first female rapper inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Surprise Guests at the Concert
She won’t be alone on this grand night. Missy Elliott will share the stage with some of her most iconic collaborators. Pop superstar Ciara and hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes, who are also on tour with Elliott, will join the event. Their participation has raised fans’ expectations for this season opener.
Additionally, rumors suggest that producer Timbaland, Elliott’s close friend since high school, might join the concert. Timbaland is also part of Missy Elliott’s current tour, making his participation in the ceremony highly possible. If confirmed, this would add an epic touch to Saturday’s event.

Bivol on how he’s training to deal with Beterbiev’s power
“Many times people ask me ‘how you going to — what are you going to change for this opponent, what you going to change for that opponent?’ Most of time time I’m working on my good skills. I cannot add something new, I can only improve my skills — it will be better.
“And this is my recommendation for all the fighters. You don’t need to change too much something, you need to prove you good skills.”
On how he rates Beterbiev’s skills compared to his own
“He has a good punch, he’s strong, he’s really strong, he’s good in endurance, and he pressures a lot. And of course to get used to these things, sparring partners help.
“My skills, everybody knows if they watch my fights. I like to use the jab, I like to move.”
On what going undisputed means to him
“It means a lot. It’s like final step in my journey. I had this dream from when I moved to pro from amateur boxing and now I have this chance.”
On if a win over Beterbiev would mean more to him than his win over Canelo
“It’s not about personality, it’s about belt. Of course fighting for the belt is much more meaningful for me, to be marked in the history. It’s a lot. Of course it’s much more meaningful.”

"Epic" is not the word.
Why does His Excellency insist on putting on these headache inducing acts that do nothing whatsoever to enhance the event?
Fingers crossed that this shambles is staged early on and not right before the main event.
That Liam Gallagher damp squib at the Joshua v Dubios fight at Wembley actually helped to lower the demand for the much hyped Oasis reunion.
Could it be that perhaps His Excellency does not have his finger on the musical pulse?
Who would the fans like to see?
Wasn't Springsteen available?
Oh well, it could have been worse, we might have got Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran...
