Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol has been holding the World Boxing Association championship belt for a long time (5 years). On his account only 17 pro fights, but Bivol has already won famous light heavyweights such as Sullivan Barrera, Isaac Chilemba, Jean Pascal and Joe Smith Jr.

It is especially worth noting that Dmitry has never been in a professional ring in a dangerous situation. A resident of st. Petersburg confidently controlled the course of each of his matches.

Previously, there were often rumors about a possible unification fight between Bivol and Artur Beterbiev (WBC and IBF champion), but the coronavirus pandemic has made its own adjustments. As a result, Dmitry has not entered the big ring since the fall of 2019.

Craig Richards, 31, started his professional boxing career. In his track record 16 wins,
1 loss and 1 draw. The dark-skinned Englishman is 2 centimeters higher than the Russian champion in height and 8 cm in a span of hands. But this is unlikely to help Craig achieve a positive result on Saturday. He just hasn’t faced a Bivol-level opponent in the ring yet.

At the same time, we note that Dmitry brought the last four fights to the referee’s decision. I will assume that even now, after a long downtime, the Russian fighter will not chase a knockout at any cost. I would venture to bet on Bivol’s victory on points with an excellent odds 3.74. Although, of course, the early end of the battle cannot be ruled out. It is possible if Craig cannot keep up with the pace offered by the champion.
