Sports Warm Winter Creation Season
About six weeks ago, when renowned British light heavyweight fighter Lyndon Arthur received an offer to face reigning WBA light heavyweight world champion Dmitry Bivol at the "Day of Reckoning" event at the Kings Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Lyndon Arthur decided to take on it with little thought.
In fact, after defeating Brian Suarez by knockout in September to claim the IBO Light Heavyweight World Title, Lyndon Arthur had the idea of challenging Dmitry Bivol, but the offer was apparently made sooner than expected.
When it comes to fighting a top light heavyweight fighter like Dmitry Bivol, Lyndon Arthur takes it very seriously. Prior to that, Lyndon Arthur was seen as a powerful light heavyweight in the UK, with plenty of experience to rival the jab skills of the world's top fighters, but what he lacked was the opportunity to compete in the World Series. And this bout with Dmitry Bivol is one such opportunity to battle the light heavyweight world champion.
Lyndon Arthur, who has arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was interviewed by reporters at the welcoming ceremony. "I know the preparation time is short, but the opportunity to play against Dmitry Bivol is rare and I don't want to give up even if I don't have 10 weeks," he said. Now that I've said yes and I'm here, let's get ready for the race. ”
In the interview, Lyndon Arthur also lavished praise on his opponent, Dmitry Bivol. He told reporters: "I'm a fan of Dmitry Bivol, I mean I'm still a fan of him, and I'm going to be a fan of him in the future. In my eyes, Dmitry Bivol is one of the best P4P fighters, and it was an honor for me to fight him, so why should I turn down his invitation?You know, that's what I'm boxing for. So when I got the offer, I thought let's start the game. ”
Against a fighter like Dmitry Bivol, I'm definitely going to have a plan to do that. Of course, things can be different on the ground when it's time to race on the weekend, and my plan may not work. Dmitry Bivol is a great fighter, but I believe I'll be able to adapt to the boxing scene and handle everything that happens in the ring, and we'll know what the situation looks like over the weekend. Lyndon Arthur told reporters.
In addition to Lyndon Arthur, another light heavyweight from the United Kingdom, Callum Smith, will face reigning WBC, IBF and WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Artur Beterbiev next month, but Lyndon Arthur is not a compatriot because he believes his upcoming opponent, Dmitry Bivol, is the best fighter in the light heavyweight division.
Not long ago, I was asked who I thought would win if the Light Heavyweight World Champion Unified Fight was held and Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev were to fightI've always believed that there is no such thing as the best fighter in a division, only better fighters. I've fought Artur Beterbiev [in amateur boxing] and he's not just a strong, pressuring fighter, he's a very high quotient. However, I'm still convinced that in light heavyweight, Dmitry Bivol is better and more capable, and if the two of them can get together, Dmitry Bivol will win the final fight. Lyndon Arthur told reporters with great certainty.
