The rematch took place in the same place as their first meeting, at the Royal Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in the struggle that flowed to the world around the world.
In his first fight, Bivol began a better start and mostly did a better job in the first half of the fight, while Beterbiev finished stronger and closed himself as a whole. It was a story about two fights, in a way. The rematch, however, this time had a little different EBBA and flow. The buffalo jumped again to the fast start where he was shining superior work, speed and athleticism. But Beterbiev began to exert effective pressure earlier at that time, and in the middle circles of the competition, it seems that Beterbiev had a momentum on his side. But Bivol showed an exceptional spare tank, and he was the one who mostly had control and worked better in the second half of the fight this time.
At the end of 12 rounds of elite action, this time the buffalo was the one who was awarded to a majority decision. With the victory, Bivol has become a new undisputed world champion in a heavyweight category.
