Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 Rematch Tops Historic Riyadh Season Card

Rumours have circulated of a stacked Riyadh Season card, with many great fighters mentioned alongside it, including the much-anticipated rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. There were rumours of a fascinating matchup between Jaron Ennis and Vergil Ortiz Jr. – but those rumours went away following a much-publicised fallout over what weight the fight would be at. The final card for this loaded event has now been revealed with four full world title bouts and three fights for interim titles. This is the perfect example of what a stacked card should look like from top to bottom.
