Promoter Eddie Hearn says his warrior Dmitri Biblical has a contract with Artur Betterbiev for the trilogy, and he could not defend against his WBC-ordered compulsory David Benavidez. He mentions that he would also give “His Word” that Biblical (24-1, 12 COs) will face next.

Hearn is not lucky that the WBC Biblical has ordered to defend so quickly against benavidez (30-0, 24 food) after becoming his mandatory because he felt he had a ‘should have had’Grace period ” to wherever he could fight with whoever. Hearn does not say what the ‘grace period’ should be, but given the kind of dough that Turki bibles, it will not be surprising if there was a few years.
“We have a contract, and we have given our word that we will fight against Betterbiev again,” promoter Eddie Hearn said Fight Hub TV When asked why he chose to go in the direction of a trilogy match between Dmitri Biscol and Artur Betterur Betterbiev, rather than fitting Biblical against his WBC-ordered compulsory David benavidez.
Fairness debate
Biblical and Betterbiev have already fought twice in a row. They want to fight for the third straight time without getting one of the contenders a chance to fight for the belt. If fighters the titles so hog, it’s bad for the sport.
It’s like having three straight super bowls between the same teams and using the argument that the third game was needed, because the first two were split and exciting to look at. It is still not fair.
“His excellence has done a tremendous job at Dmitri Biscolor. We had four battles in the kingdom,” Hearn said. “When we lost a close fight against Artur Betterbiev, his excellence went out and made the re -broadcast when he didn’t have to.” Part of the agreement was if we win, there will be a third battle with Artur Betterbiev.
“So I was very surprised at the velocity of the order. Don’t forget that Dmitri Bi it won the WBC world title. You always get Grace as a champion. It wasn’t as if it was a returned road back and Banavidez waited. He just beat Morrell, and it’s like tree, negotiations. ‘ Tree, “Purse Pray.” Tell people who offer the public ($ 8 million to BiVol for benavidez). “
The WBC may feel that they owe Benavidez something because they did not forced Canelo Alvarez to defend against him when he was a good two years at 168. Biblical and Betterbiev have also fought twice. When does it end? Who should say that Turki doesn’t want to see a fourth battle between them after their trilogy? Meanwhile, benavidez’s career is quiet waiting for the two outdated fighters to get someone else a chance
“Has there ever been a time when someone from the organization (sanction body) publicly told of the offer that Dmitri would receive Biblical?” Hearn said about the WBC who ordered Biblical to defend against Benavidez. “It’s actually very bizarre.
‘It doesn’t matter if the offer was $ 20 million. We have a contract. We also have our Word, which is our connection, which we never oppose, and we (Biblical) will take the third battle (with Artur Bererbiev). We will fight with his excellence because he gets Dmitri his biggest opportunity. ‘
Would Hearn say the same if he promoted benavidez? He will cry angry and press hard for the ‘Mexican monster’ to get his mandate title against Biblical.
“By the way, in my opinion, it is very difficult for Mauricio (Sulaiman) and the WBC, because you are under a large amount of pressure from all the parties that are pressing. It is very important that the biggest battles (translation: Hearn considered Bivol-Beteriev as the greatest struggle in the sport) in the sport and that their supercelece is a mandatory obligation.
‘For me, Bivol-Beterbiev is the biggest struggle in the division. We saw two of the best fights I’ve ever seen. Why would you not allow a third for undisputed? Everyone got their rules, we are where we are. ‘
