'Different strategies!' - Artur Beterbiev expecting changes for second dance from Dmitry Bivol

Artur Beterbiev expects Dmitry Bivol and his camp to bring new tactics to the table in their efforts to settle the score at their undisputed light heavyweight rematch on Saturday.

At Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, the pair will pick up where they left off four months ago on February 22 in a blockbuster battle.

Beterbiev won the pair's first encounter by majority decision to take all four belts in the division, though his win was not without controversy in a very close contest.

Now, at Tuesday's Grand Arrivals, he has outlined what he expects from his second dance with his rival in the ring, as well as how his health keeps him at the top of the game.

"I think they will have some different strategies [for the second fight]," he said. "I think experience, and to be in good shape for a long time is healthy for your body too.

"We learned some different things, like what we need to improve, what we need to correct. We did some stuff about these things, but we'll see [if it works]."

"There are many things [I can be better at], like aspects I can improve myself."

Plenty has been made in the build-up to their second encounter over the pair's relationship outside of the ring, with Beterbiev refusing to shake hands with his opponent.

Bivol has insisted that the snub does not bother him and played down any suggestion of serious enmity between the two after their close-fought first encounter.
