World light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol revealed in an exclusive interview with marvelbetgames.com that he made only minor adjustments to his training for the rematch against Artur Beterbiev.
There weren't any significant changes. While we used to work on a wide range of techniques, we've narrowed our focus this time. We've concentrated on specific aspects. I needed to pay more attention to mobility and some punches, but I don't want to talk about them too much since we might have a third fight ahead.
