Beterbiev, Bivol Set for February Rematch

Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are set for a highly anticipated rematch on February 22, 2025, during Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia, following their contentious first bout where Beterbiev won by majority decision. The event, dubbed 'The Last Crescendo', will feature a stacked undercard with seven title fights including IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois defending his title against Joseph Parker. WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson will also be featured, defending his title against Floyd Schofield. The rematch is significant as it will determine the undisputed light heavyweight champion, a title Beterbiev claimed in their previous encounter. Despite the excitement, there are concerns about the IBF's involvement due to a mandatory challenger, which could potentially complicate the title situation. The event is being promoted as one of the greatest boxing cards ever, though it lacks any female bouts.
