Billed as “The Last Crescendo,” one of the year’s most exciting boxing events has arrived. We’ve compiled everything you need to know about how to watch Beterbiev vs. Bivol 2, including global streaming options and a look at the full, recently updated fight card.
Beterbiev and Bivol last faced off in October 2024 in a fight that saw Beterbiev win by just a few points, the first non-KO win in the undefeated boxer’s 21 career fights. It was Bivol’s first and only loss in his 24 career fights. Tonight’s rematch marks Beterbiev’s first defense of his undisputed light heavyweight title. It was originally to be preceded by a high-stakes heavyweight title defense from Daniel Dubois against Joseph Parker, but Dubois fell ill a few days before the event and Parker will now fight Martin Bakole.
While the main events are certainly enticing, it’s an exciting night down the entire fight card. The event features a whopping seven title fights at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Among the back-to-back fights is a Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Israil Madrimov match-up for Ortiz Jr.’s WBC world interim super welterweight title and a Zhilei Zhang vs. Agit Kabayel showdown for the vacant WBC interim heavyweight title.
Boxing fans know the drill by now. The event will be available for pay-per-view (PPV) purchase on DAZN around the world. Below, you can find prices for the US and UK, and get an approximate idea of when each ring walk might take place.
