Fight for the Right to Be First: Beterbiev and Nicholson to Meet in Riyadh

Artur Beterbiev, nicknamed the "White Puncher" for his incredible power, will step into the ring again to prove that his defeat in the fight with Dmitry Bivol in February 2025 was only temporary. Before this defeat, Beterbiev was the leader in his division, having collected the IBF, WBC, WBO and WBA championship titles under his name. His impressive statistics - 20 knockout wins out of 21 - speak for themselves. Now, having lost the championship belts, Artur is again striving for the top, and the fight against Nicholson will be the first important step on this path.

His opponent is 34-year-old American Deon Nicholson. He approaches this fight with a streak of eight consecutive victories and sees the meeting with Beterbiev as a unique opportunity to declare himself. Nicholson suffered his only defeat in 2021, but since then he has been confidently moving towards his goal - a title fight. Training with former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, Nicholson has acquired a powerful punch and is determined to prove himself on the world stage.

The upcoming fight promises to be an exciting clash of experience and ambition. Despite his age, Beterbiev remains one of the most formidable punchers of our time. His aggressive fighting style and ability to constantly put pressure on his opponent have become his hallmarks. For Artur, this fight will be a test not only of his physical fitness, but also of his psychological fortitude after his first defeat. Nicholson will have to withstand the onslaught of an experienced opponent and take advantage of his chance at the first opportunity. Fans and experts from all over the world are eagerly awaiting this event: will Artur Beterbiev be able to return to the top or will Deon Nicholson be able to surprise everyone and make boxing history? Tickets for The Ring IV: Night of Champions featuring Artur Beterbiev and Deon Nicholson are available online on our website.
