The Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2 fight card is just days away from running back one of the best fights in 2024 when they meet again on Saturday night, Feb. 22.
The first fight saw Bivol display his classic technical style but Beterbiev’s ability to land power punches allowed him to eke out a majority decision, which was also the first time in the Russian’s career that he didn’t finish an opponent. Beterbiev looks to separate himself more this time around while Bivol seeks vengeance after tasting defeat for the first time in his 24 fight career.
The Beterbiev vs. Bivol 2 walkout time is 6 p.m. ET.
In the co-main event, Daniel Dubois looks to build on his stunning knockout win over Anthony Joshua when he clashes with Joseph Parker in a fight that could determine who gets a shot at Oleksandr Usyk next.
At 27 years old, Dubois is just now entering his prime with three wins in a row after he fell to Usyk back in 2023. He has been itching for a chance to run it back with Usyk but he’ll have to get through Parker first.
As for Parker, the New Zealand native has rattled off five wins in a row including back-to-back victories over a pair of knockout artists in Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang. Parker could get the biggest win of his career in the fight against Dubois, especially knowing that a chance to face Usyk looms for the winner.
The tentative Dubois vs. Parker walkout time is 4:40 pm. ET.
Shakur Stevenson was expected to face Floyd Schofield in lightweight action on the card, but Schofield pulled out of the fight with an illness.
The full fight card airs on DAZN pay-per-view with the event kicking off at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday.
