A promotional bidding war for Artur Beterbiev is likely in the near future after the former undisputed light-heavyweight champion’s contract with Top Rank expired. The boxer, who lives in Canada but was born in Russia, has been out of action since February, when Dmitry Bivol defeated him and won no fewer than four titles in the process: WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF.
Commonly referred to as ‘King Artur,’ the Canadian fighter is apparently going to have a major career change in the near future. A retirement from boxing doesn’t seem to be on the card quite yet, though there may be some other changes going forward.
