Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol 2 Will Stream Live on DAZN PPV

In what is a rarity in boxing, a little over four months removed from the first fight, undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) will once again face Dmitry Bivol (21-1, 11 KOs) on February 22. Earlier today, DAZN formally announced they would carry the PPV event titled “The Last Crescendo” for $25.99 in the US and 19.99 (EU) in the UK.

The card is filled with intriguing matchups, and almost all of them would typically headline an event on their own. Turki Alalshikh continues to use what appears to be unlimited resources to make these fights happen. Whether there will be repercussions for a monopoly type of model in boxing is unknown, but for now, the fans are getting the matchups they have long desired, which were blocked from happening in the past due to the sport’s politics.

Here is an excerpt from the press release by DAZN discussing the rest of the card.

The night will feature an exciting slate of additional bouts, including: 

• A WBC middleweight title showdown between Carlos Adames and Hamzah Sheeraz, with Sheeraz coming off a standout 2024.
• Zhilei Zhang facing Agit Kabayel for the WBC interim heavyweight title after Zhang’s emphatic knockout of Deontay Wilder last year.
• A super welterweight interim title clash between Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Israil Madrimov.
• Shakur Stevenson defending his lightweight title against Floyd Schofield.
• British stars Joshua Buatsi and Callum Smith battling for the interim WBO light heavyweight title.

The card also highlights local talent with Saudi fighters Ziyad Almaayouf and Mohammed Alaqel, whose opponents will be announced soon. 

“This is a night that truly encapsulates the spirit of boxing – the best fighting the best on a global stage,” said Pete Oliver, CEO of Growth Markets at DAZN. “We are proud to bring this extraordinary event to fight fans worldwide, as Riyadh once again proves itself as the premier destination for world-class sports and entertainment. From the blockbuster Beterbiev-Bivol rematch to Dubois defending his crown, The Last Crescendo promises to be a spectacle unlike any other. Fans will be able to watch every moment of the action on DAZN, the Global Home of Boxing”.
