Bivol Unbeaten
Dmitry Bivol was born in Kyrgyzstan in 1990 but now fights out of his St Petersburg base after relocating for the good of his career. The 6ft orthodox goes into this bout with a professional career showing 15 wins from as many fights, 11 of those victories coming inside the distance, resulting in a fearsome 73% KO average. The 28-year-old debuted with a sixth round TKO win over Jorge Olivera in Moscow and instantly caught the bug, halting each of his first six starts.
He is known as a puncher in the division with the world at his feet but has been forced to use his boxing skills of late, dragged over the distance in each of his last two starts, beating both Isaac Chilemba and Jean Pascal on points. Both wins were awarded to him by a wide margin and he will shape as a better fighter for the experience, proving both his stamina to get the result if he can’t land the big punches, as well as his tactical awareness to see bouts out from a winning position. The higher he goes in the rankings the more opponents are going to take him into the latter rounds.
