Bivol Dominates Eifert, Retains WBA Super Championship – World Boxing Association

Dmitry Bivol once again proved why he remains one of the most dominant and complete champions in the sport, delivering another masterful performance inside the ring. The Russian star successfully defended his WBA Light Heavyweight Super Championship with a commanding unanimous decision victory over Germany’s Michael Eifert in a unification bout held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, where the defending champion controlled the action from start to finish.

Bivol’s superiority was fully reflected on the scorecards, as all three judges turned in identical tallies of 120-107, 120-107, and 120-107. The tone of the fight was established early in the opening round when Bivol landed a sharp left-right combination that sent Eifert to the canvas for a knockdown.

To his credit, the German challenger showed tremendous heart and durability, recovering from the early setback and surviving the full twelve rounds. However, the gap in class, speed, and ring IQ remained evident throughout the contest.

The bout showcased the tactical brilliance of the 175-pound king, who turned the ring into a one-sided boxing clinic. Bivol dictated distance at will behind his trademark jab, consistently neutralizing every offensive attempt from Eifert, who was never able to solve the champion’s movement or cut off the ring effectively.

With the victory, Dmitry Bivol strengthens his position at the top of the light heavyweight division and keeps the prestigious black-and-gold WBA Super Championship firmly in his possession, further cementing his legacy among boxing’s elite as the 2026 campaign continues.
