Who will win? It’s a good fight, and I think it will end with a knockout.
When asked to clarify who he believes will score the knockout, Pacquiao simply laughed.
As a reminder, the two Russian boxers will face off for the second time on February 22 in Saudi Arabia. Their initial bout took place in October 2024, where Beterbiev won by unanimous decision (114-114, 115-113, 116-112) and became the undisputed world champion in the light heavyweight division.
Bivol boasts a record of 23 wins (12 by knockout) and one loss, while Beterbiev stands at 21 wins (20 by knockout) with no defeats.
