Boxing fans excited about upcoming rematch

Some boxing fans felt like Bivol was robbed in their first meeting but Beterbiev won the majority decision and walked away with the belts. Nonetheless, we can see these two settle things in the ring again. Bivol will be looking to even things up with a victory.

Without a doubt, fight fans will be tuning in to see who’ll reign supreme in the light heavyweight division.

Loaded undercard

As happy as fight fans are to see the light heavyweight championship rematch, fans will also be treated to a very loaded undercard. Here’s a list of this unbelievably loaded undercard.

1. IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs)will be defending his belt against former champion Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs).
2. Shakur Stevenson  (22-0, 10 KOs) will defend his WBC lightweight title vs. undefeated prospect Floyd Schofield (18-0, 12 KOs).
3. Carlos Adames (24-1, 18 KOs) will defend his WBC middleweight title vs. Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0, 17 KOs).  
4. Undefeated Vergil Ortiz (22-0, 21 KOs) is slated to meet Israil Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KOs).
5. China’s Zhilei Zhang (27-2-1, 22 KOs) meets Germany’s Agit Kabayel (No. 8).
6.  Callum Smith (30-2, 22 KOs) vs Joshua Buatsi (19-0, 13 KOs).

Boxing fans will have Christmas in February with this card. This is one of the most loaded cards in recent memory.  Zhang could very well be in line for a title shot if he was to get past Kabayel but a loss will forever keep him out of championship contention. Smith vs Buatsi is another fight that has future championship implications. We’re used to seeing upsets on Riyadi season cards but some upsets might just be on the horizon.
