Bivol vs Eifert | WBA, IBF & The Ring World Titles | RCC Boxing | Ekaterinburg

Dmitry Bivol and Michael Eifert to fight for world titles in Ekaterinburg Undisputed world champion Dmitry Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs) will have his next fight in Russia. Bivol’s bout is scheduled for May 30 and will serve as the main event of the RCC Boxing fight night, held with the support of the Russian Copper Company. His opponent will be Germany’s Michael Eifert (13-1, 5 KOs), the mandatory challenger for the IBF world title. The event will take place at the 12,000-seat UMMC Arena. Dmitry Bivol is the dominant world champion in the light heavyweight division. In 2022, Bivol became a true superstar after defeating Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who had been unbeaten for nine years. After that, the Russian champion’s career reached a new level, and the boxing world witnessed his high-profile two-fight rivalry with Artur Beterbiev, after which Bivol became the holder of all four major world titles. Today, Dmitry holds the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world titles. Michael Eifert enters this matchup as the “young and hungry” challenger — a fighter who can break into the elite with just one victory. A German boxer with Russian roots, Eifert has been steadily building his career over the past eight years, passing one test after another. He is a former IBF Intercontinental champion, holds a major win over Jean Pascal in Canada, and has earned the status of mandatory challenger. Now Michael has finally received his chance and is coming to his family’s homeland with only one goal — victory. It is worth noting that this will be Dmitry Bivol’s second fight under the RCC banner. Five years ago, he boxed in the Urals against Umar Salamov and confidently defended his WBA Super Champion title.
