Will Bivol dare to confront OpenAIA in 200?
Fans want to see Dmitry Bivol moves to Cruiserweight and the champion IBF Jai OpenTAIA for his belt after his victory over the superbiev high medium weight hero in the return match last Saturday.
Opetaia is likely to be welcomed by BIVOL because he talks about him and loves his technical skills. It will take a lot of courage from Bivol in its weight by 25 pounds, but this is similar to what Caneo alvarez dealt with when he moved to 175 and fought in 2022.
BIVOL Boxing Boxing tells fans and the media that it is 2-0 against Beerbiev because they feel worth winning the first battle last October. If they really think, this means that there are no more mountains that climb in 175. BIVOL may also move to Cruiserweight to challenge the king of the department, Opetaia (27-0, 21 KOS).
They do not want Bivol (24-1, 12 KOS) to do so because the risk of Opetaia will be very high. Also, the promoters want to match Eddie Herne and Frank Smith Hop Canilo Alvarez in his fight in the return match. This is very unlikely, but they hope that it will happen.
If BIVOL BETERBIEV does not fight in a triple match and does not get Caneo, then moving to Cruiserweight for OpenTAIA battle is logical. Let’s see whether the BIVOL movement, fast groups, and writing will work with Jai. There is not a lot of difference in size between them.
Bivol options in 168
– Beterbiev triple
Canilo Alvarez
– David Benefidiz
– Calum Smith
– Terring Crowford
– Anthony Yard
A trilogy will come with BETERBIEV to whether Turki alalshiph wants to follow it. It should be aware that the fans are not interested in seeing a third battle between them. They want something different.
