Beterbiev: I’ll be better one day
Undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev spoke about hie controversial twelve round majority decision over Dmitry Bivol on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“I feel not bad. I did not good today,” said the 39-year-old Beterbiev. “I wanted to box today with more quality. I don’t know why, but I didn’t like this fight, but I’ll be better one day…of course, it’s a tough fight because Dmitry is a world champion, too. He has good skills, maybe better than me. But today, Allah chose me…you know, during the fight, we always try to change something. But, you know, maybe I just wanted to punch him. Maybe that’s why I’m not delivering more punches. I don’t know…if His Excellency wants it {a rematch}, then we can do it.”
Bivol said, “I am a warrior. I have to do everything perfect. And I don’t have any explanation because it could look like excuses. I just congratulate Artur and his team. He deserves it. No problem. I just have time to make another decision for my future. That’s it…I don’t know. I just did my job. I felt that I could have done better. I always could be better. It’s just the opinion of the judges. Congratulations, Artur. I didn’t see the fight. He won. What can I say?”
