Mini bio
How it started.
Bivol grew up in Kyrgyzstan and began training around age six after his father took him to the gym. He first tried karate before switching to boxing. The family moved to St. Petersburg when he was 11, giving him access to more opportunities in the sport.
From amateur to champion.
He finished his amateur career with a 268-15 record and turned professional in November 2014. In 2017 he was elevated from interim to full WBA champion, then stopped Trent Broadhurst in the first round in Monte Carlo.
The night more fans found him.
His May 2022 unanimous-decision win over Canelo Alvarez brought him to a much wider audience. Later that year he beat Gilberto Ramirez in Abu Dhabi, a pair of victories recognised with both WBA and BWAA year-end honours.
Coming back for the belts.
After losing a majority decision to Artur Beterbiev in October 2024, Bivol won their February 2025 rematch to become undisputed champion. He later relinquished the WBC belt and spent time recovering from back surgery. In May 2026 he returned with a points win over Michael Eifert.
