Considered one of the hardest hitters in the light heavyweight division, the two-belt champion has been undefeated throughout his career. With a professional record of 22 wins(11KOs), Dmitry Bivol has been dominating the light heavyweight division for some time now. He even faced the undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez in a light heavyweight bout and had a dominating win over the Mexican post the twelve rounder.
The 33-year-old Russian boxer made his professional debut in 2014 and is currently on a 22-fight win streak. Over the years, Bivol has squared off against some of the toughest names in the division like Gilberto Ramirez, Umar Salamov, Joe Smith Jr., Craig Richards, Jean Pascal, etc.
Dmitry Bivol for his last outing, faced the former IBO light heavyweight champion, Lyndon Arthur, and won the bout via a unanimous decision. The bout took place on December 23, 2023, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Bivol dominated over the British boxer to win the twelve-rounder.
Moreover, for his next outing, Dmitry Bivol is scheduled to face Malik Zinad on June 1, 2024, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Zinad is a Lybian boxer who is also undefeated with a record of 22 wins(16 KOs) and no losses in his career so far. Earlier, Bivol was supposed to face the unified champion, Artur Beterbiev for the main event on June 1, 2024.

Dmitry Bivol Manager
Dmitry Bivol is managed by Vadim Kornilov. He was awarded the WBA Manager of the Year in 2022 by the World Boxing Association for his work in upbringing talents from parts of the world and making them visible in the most elite manner. Moreover, Vadim Kornilov started off as a translator for Dmitry Bivol and later became his manager.
Even though Vadim Kornilov manages other boxers from other divisions, Dmitry Bivol is considered to be the most important name in his pocket.
The last time we heard Kornilov make a statement was when Artur Beterbiev had to pull out and Kornilov did not want Bivol to not fight. He mentioned that Bivol has been in the camp for two months already and there is no reason for the Russian boxer to not walk out for his main event on June 1, 2024.
