February 22nd is set to be yet another memorable night for boxing as the Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol rematch takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The full Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 undercard is detailed below, with this full card arguably the best boxing show of all time.

Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol 2 Full Card Could Be Best Boxing Show In History

The Artur Beterbiev was of course the man who got his hand raised on that occasion, but is putting his undisputed light-heavyweight titles on the line in the rematch this weekend.

Along with the incredible Beterbiev vs Bivol rematch at the top of the bill, six other standout fights were announced as the full Last Crescendo full card was confirmed several weeks ago.

The Daniel Dubois, Shakur Stevenson and a few other former world champions and future kings.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has left no stone unturned with this undercard announcement, that is for sure. There is a genuine argument that this card could be the single best card in boxing history. Period. Seven fights all worthy of their own main event. Quite remarkable.

Given he won the first fight, best UK boxing betting sites. The rest of the Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 full card fights are all competitive in their own right too, making this a purely stacked card on February 22nd.

Daniel Dubois, Shakur Stevenson, Hamzah Sheeraz & Zhilei Zhang All Feature On Stacked Beterbiev vs Bivol Undercard

Dmitry Bivol undercard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February 22nd.

The co-main event sees Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium last time out.

Another huge fight on the Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 undercard sees Shakur Stevenson defending his WBC World Lightweight Title against late replacement opponent Josh Padley. Stevenson was meant to fight Floyd Schofield, but Padley has come into replace to American as he was pulled out of the contest due to weight issues by the British Boxing Board of Control.

A cracking light-middleweight contest between Israil Madrimov and Vergil Ortiz is another standout fight on the Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 undercard. This is another world level fight, as is Zhilei Zhang vs Agit Kabayel in what is a superb heavyweight contest on The Last Crescendo bill.

The two remaining fights are both two barnstormers. Unbeaten Frank Warren middleweight star Hamzah Sheeraz gets his first shot at world honours, as he faces Carlos Adames for the WBC World Middleweight Title. This is a huge step up for Sheeraz, but one he is more than capable of beating.

Kicking off the action is a compelling all-British light-heavyweight clash as Eddie Hearn‘s man Callum Smith faces the undefeated Joshua Buatsi for an interim world title. The winner of this could well face the winner of Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 in the future.

That concludes the Dmitry Bivol full card and undercard.
