Before their upcoming bout this Sunday which has been billed “The Last Crescendo,” Dimitry Bivol says he does not care who he fights after February 23rd as he has business right now with undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev.

The future is looking bright and incredibly meaningful for Bivol as he looks to avenge the lone loss of his career.

With a win, he can set himself up for a trilogy fight against Beterbiev and even pursue lucrative matchups against the likes of Canelo Alvarez, David Benavidez, or Jai Opetaia.

During an interview with The Ring magazine he says it is not necessary to think about the future right now, and it's not helping him to think about his next fight as anything can happen.

Bivol was able to handle Beterbiev’s power the first time out and became the only fighter to hear the final bell against Beterbiev.

He faded late in the first fight and says he needs to be faster, have more endurance, and throw more punches than Beterbiev in their rematch, but he does not believe he needs a knockout to win.

Bivol will face Beterbiev this Sunday in the main card which will be supported by the Joseph Parker vs Daniel Dubois fight this Sunday.
