Artur Beterbiev blames Dmitry Bivol on the delay in the trilogy, asking questions when the third fight happens

Artur Beterbiev posted on Instagram today, saying that Dmitry Bivol is the reason the trilogy match was delayed.

The battle of the trilogy stagnated by Bibolu

Former indisputable light heavyweight champion Betterviev (21-1, 20 KOS) says he wanted the trilogy match to occur shortly after his second fight last February in Riyadh. However, it was heard that Beterbiev wanted Bivol (24-1, 12 Kos) to hold a contest “Late autumn and the end of the year.”

Now Betterviev is unsure when Vibor wants a third fight. Yesterday, a report on X was reported on Bivol-Beterbiev, which is being held in Russia in 2026. But Betterviev didn’t mention it in his post.

Is Betterviev’s age Vibor tactics?

In Artur’s Instagram post, he asks Bivol. “How old should I be? So can we have a third fight? “Beterbiev is 40 years old and his comments to Bibolu suggest that he is not a threat as he is aging by a unified champion.

Betterviev says his coach and doctors were against the idea that he was fighting Bibolu for the second time last February. He lost to Dmitry by a 12-round majority decision with scores 115-113, 116-112 and 114-114.

Beterbiev’s mobility was not the same in the battle as in the previous battle last October. His surgically surgically operated knees limit his ability to block the ring with a vivol, which used many movements in his hit-and-run style combat.

Beterbiev question Bivol’s delay

“The day after the first fight we agreed to a rematch, which would take place within four months despite my post-surgery. The coach and doctor were determined to oppose such an early rematch,” said Artur Beterbiev. instrumentation Today we are debating why the third fight with Dmitry Bibolu was delayed.

“After the second fight, I immediately expressed interest in the third fight. There were rumors about the August fight, but in an interview, my opponent (Bivol) said they wanted to keep it in the late autumn.

“Dima, how old should I be so that we can fight for the third time?” Betterbiev said, sending a message to Dmitry Biboru.
