Beterbiev says he has signed a contract and the bout will be October 18th at a site to be named in the United States. It will be streamed on one of the ESPN platforms.

Why the hell will it be in the States? They should go get that Russian money. It would be huge over there.
They are not a big name or well known over there. This fight is huge in Canada and should take place there
Apparently, Canelo will fight the winner!….

That’s one hell of a fight. Wow!
@supercharro, AGREED!!! TOP SHELF FIGHT!
Awesome fight! And a step in the right direction: unification.
Hopefully The Ring Magazine will designate the winner as its champion.
This should be an incredible fight! Not to be missed. Finally something to really look forward to!
Nice
It’s rare when you see two mansters going at each other.
LIGHTHEAVY IS CHALK FULL OF TALENT! Gvozdyk, Beterbiev, Bivol, Kovalev, etc…
My favourite is Bivol !! But Gvozdyk is skilled too; Beterbiev is less skilled and fast but he’s a true puncher.. Kovalev was great but the second fight with Ward (low blow after low blow and Kovalev’s trainer not able to change his strategy affect Kovalev mentaly and made him beatable…). And Yarde and some others are climbing the rankings pretty quickly and are Dangerous too..
What a fight it will be !! Can’t wait to Watch these hard punchers collide together with the winner taking on Dmitry Bivol, Kovalev or Yarde.. To me Gvodzyk’s record is better but Beterbiev is such a monster ! What Gvodzyk is better at is speed and defence i think but may the best win !! Good luck to both !!
