Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are no threat to break revenue records when they fight Saturday for the unified light heavyweight title. But what the two Russian-born boxers lack in box-office appeal, they make up for with talent.
Loads of talent.
Beterbiev has power – thus, the 20-0 record with 20 knockouts.

Both rank as high as No. 4 and no lower than No. 7 in pound-for-pound rankings generated by The Ring, ESPN, The Sporting News and CBS Sports.
