Adam Deines

It’s been almost over 18 months since Artur Beterbiev last stepped into the ring, as the  pandemic caused several delays in his quest to be the absolute best.

Positives to Covid-19, restrictions on international traveling, change of rivals and injuries, resulted in multiple re-scheduling. However,  the 175-pound World Boxing Council and IBF champion is more than ready but most of all eager to defend his crown.

Arthur Beterbiev fights Adam Deines tomorrow at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow; This is what he commented about his title fight.

“It’s been a difficult year for everyone. Now, I’m feeling good. I had a very good preparation, very good camp in Russia. We’re ready for a fight.

“I’m very happy to have a fight in my home country. We studied Adam. We watched some videos. We have a couple of strategies.

“You never hear predictions from me. I’m a simple boxer. I’m not like Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali can say, I’ll knock him out in eight rounds, or 10 rounds, but I’m not like this. I’m focused on doing my best.”

Undefeated World Council Light Heavyweight Champion Artur Beterbiev of Russia will defend his crown against German Adam Deines on Saturday, March 20, at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow, Russia.

Both fighters participated in a promotional press conference, accompanied by promoter Vladimir Hrunov, in Moscow.

Originally, 35-year-old Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KO) was going to defend his crown against Chinese Meng Fanlong at the end of September in Yekaterinburg, Russia, but because of Fanlong’s visa issues, he did not.

Beterbiev and Deines have been scheduled to fight twice before. The proposed October 23 date was scrapped after Beterbiev sustained a rib injury during training, and the January 30 date was postponed after Beterbiev tested positive for COVID-19.

Adam Deines (19-1-1, 10 KO), who was born in Russia but became a German national, will get his first world title shot.

The 29-year-old Deines’ only loss was to Chinese Fanlong, by a 10-round decision, in June 2019, in Macau.

Beterbiev, the only boxing world champion with a 100 percent knockout ratio, has seen no action since he knocked out Ukrainian world champion Oleksandr Gvodzyk to unify the WBC and IBF world titles in October 2019 in Philadelphia.

Beterbiev, a two-time Russian Olympian, has never fought in his home country as a professional.
The fight, which is promoted by Patriot Boxing in association with Top Rank, will be televised on ESPN.

Boxing’s spectacular knockout artist, WBC light heavyweight world champion Artur Beterbiev, invites American fight fans for An Afternoon With Artur, involving his title defence against top contender Adam Deines — Saturday, March 20 at Megasport Arena in Moscow — will be televised live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes (and simulcast on ESPN+) at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT.

In the televised co-feature, welterweight contender Alexander Besputin returns to action in a 10-rounder against Argentine veteran Maximiliano Ricardo Veron.

Undercard fights will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.

Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs), a two-time Russian Olympian, returns to home soil for the first time as a professional. He unified world titles in October 2019 with a 10th-round TKO over Oleksandr Gvozdyk, solidifying his position as the sport’s top light heavyweight. Deines (19-1-1, 10 KOs) has won a pair of bouts since dropping a decision to Meng Fanlong and enters as the underdog looking to spoil Beterbiev’s perfect record and status as the only current world champion with a 100 percent knockout rate.

Besputin (13-0, 9 KOs) has not fought since November 2019, when he bested Radzhab Butaev by unanimous decision to win a version of the welterweight world title. The result was changed to a no-contest after Besputin tested positive for a banned substance. Veron (12-3-1, 4 KOs) is coming off a career-best performance in November 2019, a unanimous decision over Diego Ramirez (21-2 at the time) to win the IBF Latino welterweight belt.

The following bouts are scheduled for the ESPN+-exclusive portion of the broadcast:

Former Russian amateur standout Khariton Agrba (4-0, 1 KO), a 2019 European Games silver medalist, will fight Venezuelan veteran Jesus Cuadro (19-7, 15 KOs) in a 10-rounder for WBA Continental super lightweight strap. The 25-year-old Agrba is considered one of Russia’s top young talents, as he won more than 300 bouts in the unpaid ranks before turning pro in December 2019.

Azizbek Abdugofurov (13-0, 5 KOs) will defend his WBC Silver super middleweight belt in a 12-rounder against fellow unbeaten Pavel Silyagin (6-0 4 KOs). Abdugofurov, from Uzbekistan, is ranked fourth by the WBC at super middleweight.About ESPN+
