Arum was saying Fanlong Meng is next for Artur, but I would love to see the Bivol unification after that.

I always say that I don’t mind those kinds of fights as long as it’s a stay busy fight and it happens quickly. Beterbiev has been pretty inactive throughout his career. He can’t fight once a year and waste it on a non top fighter.

Ment is the mandatory and Arum wants it on the Chinese New year. Bivol is with a rival company is the winner of Kov/Canelo easier to make?

Agreed, he just fought a top guy so I have no complaints about a step down in class for his next out.

Depends on what happens in Kov/ Canelo. If Kov wins, then it probably is easer to make. If Cnelo wins, he'll lose Artur's number.

Gvozdyk released from hospital after TKO loss to Beterbiev

Oleksandr Gvozdyk, the former world light-heavyweight champion who lost to Artur Beterbiev by TKO on Friday, was released from hospital on Sunday after staying two nights as a precaution.

Gvozdyk, 32, was stopped in the 10th round of an action-packed 175-pound unification bouton Friday at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

Referee Gary Rosato waved off the fight after two minutes and 49 seconds of the 10th after Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) dropped an exhausted Gvozdyk (17-1, 14 KOs) three times.

According to ESPN, Gvozdyk walked alongside trainer Teddy Atlas to an ambulance to make the short trip to the hospital to be checked out as a precaution.

Atlas confirmed he stayed with Gvozdyk a second night to be safe before the 32-year-old was released with a minor concussion.

"All is clear," Atlas told ESPN. "No [brain] bleed or anything. Thank God, just a minor concussion from the hits to the back of the head they said, but we needed to be sure."



Gvozdyk, a Ukrainian who is based in California, won his WBC title in December 2018 - stopping Adonis Stevenson in a bout that saw the long-reigning champion put in an induced coma and treated for a traumatic brain injury - and made one successful defence before being stopped by the undefeated Beterbiev on Friday.

A Russian based in Montreal, Beterbiev, 34, defended his IBF title for the third time since winning it in November 2017.

Great performance by Beterbiev. He is much more skilled than I thought. Beterbiev is currently the man to beat in this category
