    Saturday, October 12
    Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (ESPN+)

    The main undercard will begin around 5pm UK time, 12pm ET, and 9am PT, which will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN. Beterbiev vs. Bivol is set to start with the ringwalks around 11.15pm UK, 6.15pm ET, and 3.15pm PT.

    Artur Beterbiev +104
    Dmitrii Bivol -126

    • Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol, light heavyweights, 12 rounds, for undisputed championship (Beterbiev’s WBC, IBF, and WBO titles and Bivol’s WBA title)
    Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (PPV)


    Fabio Wardley -148
    Frazer Clarke +122

    Chris Eubank Jr -2500
    Kamil Szeremeta +1420

    Jack Massey +1180
    Jai Opetaia -2000



    • Fabio Wardley vs Frazer Clarke, rematch, heavyweights, 12 rounds, for Wardley’s British title
    • Chris Eubank Jr vs Kamil Szeremeta, middleweights, 12 rounds
    • Jai Opetaia vs Jack Massey, cruiserweights, 12 rounds, for Opetaia’s IBF title
    • Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron, light heavyweights, 10 rounds
    • Skye Nicolson vs Raven Chapman, featherweights, 10 rounds, for Nicolson’s WBC title
    Noon ET, Beterbiev vs Bivol undercard. Again, this is a really unusual situation, so going to try to make this very clear:

    • You WILL NOT be able to watch the Beterbiev vs Bivol fight on DAZN or on the pay-per-view. That fight is exclusive to ESPN+ in the United States.
    • You also WILL NOT be able to watch the Beterbiev vs Bivol undercard on the ESPN+ broadcast.
    The undercard — featuring Wardley vs Clarke 2, Chris Eubank Jr’s return, Opetaia vs Massey, Nicolson vs Chapman, and more — as part of your DAZN subscription. It will NOT cost extra on top of your DAZN sub to watch it on DAZN. This is all very dumb rights stuff, but that’s how it lays out. Now if you’re in the UK, it looks like the show is a PPV period, so this DAZN/ESPN+ split only applies in the United States.

    ESPN+, 6:00 pm ET, Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol. One of the most desired and anticipated matchups over the last few years is finally (almost) here. Beterbiev and Bivol will square off for true light heavyweight supremacy, and more than this being “undisputed” it’s simply a very clear 1 vs 2 thing, even 1A vs 1B to finally settle a 1. These are two of the best fighters of their generation. We’ll find out who’s got it on Saturday.

    should have put “free” in quotes but I just meant no additional charge (PPV)

    Who are you picking TMB? I've been Bivol up to the last couple days, but Beterbiev just looks more up for it now

    My gut says Beterbiev stops Bivol. I am not especially confident in that prediction though

    One thing I do come back to is Bivol stood up to the best Canelo had. So idk

    I get the feeling this is a workaround to compensate for the Sheik requesting PPV being $19.99.

    I'm watching (stealing) the undercard now, 6 hours of fighting ahead

    Fight went to the scorecards after this, ruled a draw. Whittaker injured his leg, lots of speculation that the fight wasn't going his way so he made a meal of it, but it was a nasty tumble

    If Bivol can keep Beterbiev at the end of his jab then Bivol. If Beterbiev can get inside then he'll stop Bivol.

    Moved back to Bivol. Beterbiev is 39 and resides in Canada. Everyone knows Canada is soft
