Artur Betterbiev expressed its frustrations on social media yesterday about the delaying tactics used by the Unified Light Heavyweight champion Dmitri Biblical for their trilogy match. The former 175-pound undisputed champion, Betterbiev (21-1, 20 COs), questioned or biblically to delay the delay, making him defeatable.
BIVOL’S CHOICE: MONEY CONFESSIONS ABOUT TRILOGY
What Betterbiev (40) does not see is that Biblical (24-1, 12 Cos) is in a holding pattern and is waiting for the outcome of the Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford ‘Fight of the Century’ on September 13.
Dmitri has an excellent chance of fighting Canelo in a rematch if he overcomes. Biblical Star has beaten once in 2022. Recently. Alvarez said he was open to a re -broadcast. Even Crawford can be an option for Biblical if Turki Alalshikh offers the Omaha, Nebraska, enough money. Terence knows that his chances of winning, but if Turki offers him $ 60 million for the fight, not say no to a Biblical battle.
Financially, it is in Bivol’s best interest to wait on the Canelo-Crawford result to get a bigger payday than he would get against a grueling trilogy match at a 100% healthy better biev he could lose.
If you look at the 12th round of their second battle in February, where Artur Biblical was about to be knocked out, you can understand why Dmitri would rather take out the trilogy and go towards a more profitable payday against whom the winner of the Alvarez against Bud Crawford bolt emerges.
“He said in an interview that he wanted to keep it in late fall and then at the end of the year, and now it’s completely unknown when. How old should I be so we can fight for the third time? ‘ said Artur Betterbiev on Instagram about Dmitri Biscolor.
Betterbiev needs BIVOL REALITY CHECK
There is more for Biblical to earn by delaying the risky betterbiev to wait for the outcome of the Canelo-Crawford winner. The pot of gold for Biblical would be enormous compared to a third battle with Artur, which he would probably lose if better Biev is 100% healthy.
Biblical will eventually fight against Bererbiev in a year or two, but by that time he will be 41 or 42 and less a threat to hit him than now.
