Before Betting On Malik Zinad vs Dmitry Bivol
An exciting night of boxing action is set for Saturday, with one of the best boxers in the world set to be in action. Dmitry Bivol has been one of the most dominant stars in the sport across recent years, and he is currently ranked as the sixth-best pound-for-pound boxer on the planet. He was awarded for his achievements after being named the Fighter of the Year by Ring Magazine in 2022.
Bivol was originally set to take on Artur Beterbiev for the undisputed light heavyweight title on June 1, but that plan was scuppered due to his rival picking up an injury. Malik Zinad will fill in for his rival this weekend, but the odds will be stacked against the challenger. Bivol has won all 22 of is professional bouts to date, which includes professional title defenses against Canelo Alvarez and Gilberto Ramirez since the start of 2022.
Zinad will be the massive outsider in the betting this weekend, but the 30-year-old does appear to have untapped potential after going undefeated across his 22 professional bouts. The Libyan boxer is also a former WBC Mediterranean champion, and previously held the IBO Continental Championship in the light heavyweight division.
However, this bout represents a huge step up in opposition, with the boxer having fought opponents that have been typically ranked outside the top ten. He should have recent fitness on his side after overcoming Jerome Pampellone in Sydney at the end of April.
Malik Zinad vs Dmitry Bivol Offshore Odds & Pick
It is very hard to overlook the prospect of a victory for Bivol in this bout on Saturday. Therefore, we expect him to produce a stunning display to set up the bout with Beterbiev later in the year.
