Beterbiev wants Bivol trilogy
Artur Beterbiev would rather take a trilogy bout with Dmitry Bivol rather than tackle David Benavidez as he plots his return to the light-heavyweight summit.
The star is chasing revenge against his old rival, having lost his undisputed crown against the latter when they enjoyed a blockbuster rematch.
“I really want the rubber match,” Beterbiev told Inside the Ring. "If you want to check if I’m good or not, make this fight happen and I will show you.
"I believe I won the second fight better than the first one. For sure, the third fight is going to happen [and] I’ll do better than both of them.”
Anber urges Itauma caution
Naoya Inoue's promoter has hinted the star's bout with Jesse Rodriguez will take place in February next year as he outlined the star's upcoming plans.
'The Monster' has been linked to a super-bout with 'Bam' since turning over domestic rival Junto Nakatani last month in a Tokyo Dome blockbuster.
Now, Hideyuki Ohashi has revealed that the star will have a "big fight" in February, adding to Yahoo Japan: "I am sure you can guess which one.
"That's also in motion right now. Once that's done, the next one will be in an extraordinary place."
Allen turns down Taylor bill spot
Caroline Dubois has outlined her roadmap to Alycia Baumgardner, suggesting she will ensure the latter faces her amid her limited options.
The American has previously suggested the Briton must prove herself, but with Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano off the table, is missing key foes.
"We're going to build the fight," Dubois informed Sky Sports News on a bout. "I want to become undisputed and then she's got no arguments.
"All we can do is to build and make that fight unavoidable, unmissable, and undeniable. That happens by me becoming undisputed."
