Fans were very interested in seeing Beterbiev and Bivol fight again after their previous fight on October 12th. Some fans complained about the decision, So here we are with those two fighting again.
Several fights on the undercard could steal the show from the Beterbiev-Bivol 2 rematch. It’s going to be difficult for Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) and Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) to outshine the undercard fights that Turki Alalshikh has on this card.
The fight that fans are interested in seeing in high numbers is the clash between the WBC interim junior middleweight champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. (22-0, 21 KOs) and Israil Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KOs). That fight will get a lot of amped-up tonight, wanting to see if Ortiz Jr. can hold off the highly technical Madrimov.

He and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, want the Gervonta Davis fight next. To have any kind of a chance of getting that fight, Shakur must look impressive tonight beating Padley.
