One of the strongest punchers in professional boxing, Artur Beterbiev is focusing on winning this Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, when he challenges Dmitry Bivol for the undisputed light-heavyweight world title. He won’t divulge his “secret” to beating his fellow Russian at the Kingdom Arena; TNT Sports Box Office will live stream the bout.

When Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol square off for the undisputed light-heavyweight title in Riyadh on Saturday, the fighter has refused to divulge his “secret” strategy for winning.In the IV Crown Showdown at the Riyadh Season Opening Ceremony, which will be live on TNT Sports Box Office, Bivol will defend the WBA title he won in 2017 while Beterbiev will defend the belts he holds from the IBF, WBC, and WBO.Before the much awaited fight, they both had perfect records: Beterbiev had a 20-0 record, while Bivol had a 23-0 record after defeating Malik Zinad in June.As Beterbiev gets ready to stake everything on the line against Bivol, he is playing it close to the vest.

“You know, in all my past fights, I have never revealed these things [his plan for the fight],” he stated. “Why am I telling you these things right now?

All inquire about this. Within our team, there is a small secret.

“We need to work through and get ready for a few different scenarios.

We are planning how the fight will unfold at the start, middle, and finish.

“We always attempt to plan for and talk about various eventualities, but we never let journalists know.

“We’ll also remain silent.

“Yes, I want to win the fight, but keep it a secret from everyone.

“When someone does trash talk, I just smile.”

Beterbiev hopes to continue his winning streak of 20 straight fights ended by knockout on Saturday.

Beterbiev has no interest in a verbal altercation, even if the two are expected to trade blows over the weekend.

“I have never done trash talk in my boxing career and I don’t want to start now, you know,” he stated.”It is not how I dress. It might have originated during my amateur days, since I recall a time when the national team’s head coach forbade us from doing interviews following a fight.

“They requested that we avoid speaking with the media while the competition was going on.

“Certainly after the competition, but not in the middle of it.

“It might originate there. I’m not sure, but I know it helps with promotion and all that.”
