Artur Beterbiev, boxing's only champion with a 100% KO ratio, is Artur Beterbiev
Russian national Beterbiev holds the WBC, IBF, and WBO belts. He also holds the record for being the only boxing champ with a 100% knockout rate.
The 175lb fight between these two is regarded as one of the best in the sport.
Yarde, 30 is Beterbiev’s mandatory WBO and stands in Beterbiev’s way of hard-hitting unification.
Buatsi (29 years old) is also ready for Bivol's belt shot, adding to the complexity.
The Londoners could take a step back to allow for an undisputed super-fight while they face each other in a semi final.

"Yes, we have another option. We will soon find out how it will work out."
Bivol, 31 years old, is open to the possibility of fighting unbeaten Buatsi (bronze medalist at Rio Olympics 2016).
