The highly anticipated undisputed light heavyweight title fight between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, initially scheduled for June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has been postponed due to Beterbiev suffering a ruptured meniscus during training camp. The injury will require Beterbiev to undergo knee surgery, sidelining him until at least September. Despite the postponement of the main event, the Queensberry-Matchroom 5 vs 5 event will proceed as planned on the same date. Organizers are currently seeking a replacement opponent for Bivol to keep him on the June 1 card.
