"I'm in boxing since 1996," Bivol told Dan Rafael via Big Fight Weekend . "All this journey was for this, to get this chance to win, and I will try to do all my best. Of course, it means a lot. I don't want to even think about it, to be honest, because when I start thinking about it, I have goosebumps.

"He's (Beterbiev) the most dangerous fighter, with 100% KO. For me, it's exciting to try my skills against this guy."
