RIYADH, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), has today released the new boxing film to promote the Riyadh Season rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol on Saturday February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the undisputed light heavyweight championship of the world.
The fight is billed as ‘The Last Crescendo’ and is the sequel to their magnificent first encounter, which opened Riyadh Season in October last year, and concluded with Beterbiev being crowned the first undisputed champion in the light heavyweight division since 2002, and the first in the four-belt era, by majority decision.
Their previous clash was more than a battle for supremacy; it was a fight for legacy that captivated viewers around the globe and the result sparked intense debate with fans divided over who they felt truly deserved to win. This has only heightened anticipation for the rematch and this latest trailer from BigTime Creative Shop takes viewers on a dramatic journey from the first fight to now through an intense musical performance. Yet, the symphony remains unfnished. One more battle awaits to bring it all to a close: The Last Crescendo.
Introduced by the world-famous ring announcer Michael Buffer with Beterbiev and Bivol starring, the performance is split into three acts, bringing together a symphony of drama, emotions, and complexity that takes fans through every high and low before next month’s event ‘The Last Crescendo‘, a term that symbolizes the ultimate and most intense moment leading to the final resolution of the spectacle. This is precisely the story of our fighters: this is the final showdown that will bring their long-awaited battle to an end.
The fight tops a stunning seven bout card in February, each with a world title on the line which includes IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois making a second defence of his belt against former WBO world champion Joseph Parker in the co-main event.
It will also stage Zhilei Zhang versus Agit Kabayel for the vacant WBC interim heavyweight title, Vergil Ortiz Jr going up against Israil Madrimov with the WBC Interim super welterweight world title at stake while Hamzah Sheeraz fights for the WBC middleweight championship against current champion Carlos Adames.
