The Beterbiev vs Bivol live stream sees two light-heavyweight title-holders go head-to-head in Riyadh, on Saturday October 12, 2024 to decide the undisputed champion of the world. The streaming options are a little convoluted, but we've done the research so you don't have to.

We are in store for a magnificent bout on Saturday, as Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol fight it out for the IBF, IBO, WBC and WBO light-heavyweight belts and to retain their undefeated records. Beterbiev is 20-0 with 100 percent of his victories coming by knockout. Bivol has won 23 out of 23 fights with 12 knockouts.

Beterbiev had to postpone the fight, which was originally scheduled for June, after injuring his knee, but he is fully fit again and ready to rumble. Bivol will look to do damage with his jab while evading Beterbiev's power punches. It promises to be an intriguing match-up.

Friday's weigh-in showed Beterbiev with a slight advantage at 174.96 lbs to 174.12 lbs. Time will tell whether or not that is significant. Bivol is the narrow favourite, but this one could go either way.

This is the messed up part — no. You cannot watch the Beterbiev vs Bivol fight in Canada. At least it certainly doesn't look that way at the time of writing. DAZN has said that it doesn't have the rights to air the Beterbiev vs Bivol main event in the US or Canada but, while there's ESPN+ to show the fight in the States, there isn't the case north of the border.

We've checked the schedules of all the regular Canadian channels (TSN, GlobalTV, CityTV, CBC, Sportsnet and more) and none of them are broadcasting Beterbiev vs Bivol. And there's nothing on regular PPV providers like PPV.com or Triller.TV either.

So, either someone's going to come in late and save the day on this one or there is not going to be a Beterbiev vs Bivol live stream in Canada, which is crazy given that Artur Beterbiev is a Canadian citizen!
