Quote: "I believe this was one of the greatest fights of the past 20 years. But in my view, the result was unfair. These two fighters are like brothers to me, but I think Bivol won by two rounds. I will focus on trying to organize a rematch. If they agree, we will make it happen."

Reminder: After last night's bout, Turki Alalshikh also confirmed the date for the rematch between Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua.

Considering the two-month intervals between major boxing events, a potential date for the Bivol-Beterbiev rematch can be anticipated. The rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury is scheduled for December, two months after this fight. Following that, the Dubois-Joshua rematch is set for February 2025. Therefore, the Bivol-Beterbiev rematch could likely take place around April-May 2025, assuming no other factors intervene.
