Dmitry Bivol undergoes intense training in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan ahead of high-stakes clash against nemesis Artur Beterbiev

Dmitry Bivol is seemingly training in the rugged mountains of Kyrgyzstan to prepare for his upcoming title fight. Bivol, the WBA (Super) and IBO light heavyweight champion, is set to take on the WBC, IBF, and WBO light heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev in the undisputed title fight on Oct. 12.

BIvol has scored 17 title fight victories in his professional boxing career and looks poised to continue with the winning ways based on the work he seems to be putting in. In a recent Instagram post, Bivol shared a video of him sprinting, exercising, and shadowboxing in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan.

Check out the video below:

Bivol and Beterbiev were previously scheduled to fight on June 1. However, Beterbiev was forced to withdraw due to a meniscus tear a few weeks before the fight.

Libya's Malik Zinad stepped up to face Bivol on the same date but lost by a sixth-round TKO. The battle between Beterbiev and Bivol was then rescheduled for Oct. 12.

Unbeaten boxer is excited to watch Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev

The Ring and IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia recently chimed in with his thoughts on the Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev fight. Opetaia's name has emerged for a potential catchweight fight against Bivol and the Australian has shown interest in taking on the light heavyweight champion.

Speaking to Boxing Scene about Bivol's upcoming fight, Opetaia said:

“I think that’s an awesome fight [Beterbiev-Bivol]. I’m really excited to watch that. I’m a massive fan of Bivol."

Speaking further, Opetaia explained how the talks of a potential clash with Dmitry Bivol started:

"I never even thought about fighting Bivol until I went there [to Saudi Arabia] and the Sheikh was like, ‘You fight him?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever, bro’. We went over to that Day of Reckoning [led by Anthony Joshua-Otto Wallin] and that was my first time on the big scene, rubbing shoulders with great fighters, and the Sheikh was just getting individual photos of all the fighters, AJ’s there; [Joseph] Parker; Deontay Wilder; massive names, and then he calls Bivol over to take a photo and then, while they’re talking, he says, ‘You can fight him’. And I was like, ‘Whatever bro’." [H/T Boxing Scene]
