Bivol, who is 21-0, is coming off wins over Canelo Álvarez and Gilberto Ramirez in his most recent outings. He will step inside the ring for the first time in 2023 to face Arthur.

Manchester’s own Lyndon Arthur (23-1 Boxing) defeated Braian Nahuel Suarez in his last fight to extend his winning streak to four. Fellow British boxer Anthony Yarde handed Arthur his only professional loss in December 2021.

The fight against Bivol will be the first title shot of Arthur’s career. Although the 32-year-old is not as popular as Bivol’s recent opponents. He could be a serious threat to the Russian’s title reign. Bivol, however, prioritizes accomplishing the task on December 23.
