‘I know what I will add’: Bivol prepared to make changes for Beterbiev rematch

Dmitry Bivol acknowledges he’ll make some changes in order to get win over Artur Beterbiev in rematch.

Dmirty Bivol spent a little time talking with Fight Hype about a number of topics including this weekend’s heavyweight rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, as well as his own impending world title rematch against Artur Beterbiev. Bivol says he knows what changes he needs to make for that rematch but stopped short of spilling the beans. Check out some of what he had to say below.

Bivol on who wins the Usyk vs Fury rematch

“I don’t know, I’m just also curious how all the people (are curious). It’s interesting fight. I think this fight with Fury, most of them depends on Fury’s shape, always. And I don’t know which shape he’s in.

“We can see different ways. Maybe Usyk will learn something and do more. Maybe Fury learn more. I don’t know, I don’t like prediction.”

On his upcoming rematch with Beterbiev

“Of course I’m happy that I have another chance and (Alalshikh), he told about this date the day after the (first) fight. The next day he invited us and he told us that he wanted to make rematch on this date. He asked me, he asked Beterbiev who said yes, and since that day I have in my head that I will have this chance again.”

On if he will prepare any differently for rematch

“Of course I need to do something different and I know what I will add, I know what I will change a little bit.”
