'Talking about legacy!' - DAZN pundits weigh fate of Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol rematch winner in history
Legacy is on the line for Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol in their undisputed light-heavyweight rematch, with Darren Barker, Sergio Mora and Barry Jones all excited for it.
The pair top the bill at Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, headlining a terrific slate of boxing action featuring multiple world title fights.

But the headliners arguably have the biggest prize of all on the line, as Beterbiev offers up the four belts he swept in the pair's first encounter last October.
Speaking at Tuesday's Grand Arrivals, DAZN pundit and former IBF middleweight champion Barker laid out his reasons to be excited for this second dance.
"The first fight was so good," he said. "It had everything. There was so much to enjoy about this fight. They just don't seem to like each other.
"There's obviously respect there. They both can do better, which for me, is so exciting. It is a special, special fight. It really is the bull versus the matador.

"You're talking about legacy. Whoever wins this fight will be considered one of the greatest light-heavyweights of all time."
Ex-WBC light middleweight champion Mora concurred, noting the split between pundits and spectators after the first bout.
"All three of us agree that Bivol won," he said in reference to himself, Barker and Jones. "But the casual fan felt Beterbiev won."
Jones, who was WBO super featherweight champion in 1997, praised the first fight as a special one too, adding: "It was non-stop excitement and technically superb."
