Dmitry Bivol's ex-wife, Ekaterina Bivol, more than enjoyed the previously undefeated boxer's first-ever defeat. Yesterday, on Oct. 12, Bivol faced one of the sport's most-feared power punchers and fellow undefeated pugilist, Artur Beterbiev, losing via split-decision.
While the entire combat sports world had thoughts on the judges' scorecards, Ekaterina was among those pleased with the outcome. A clip of her translated reaction to her ex-husband's loss has been making the rounds on X, shared by Happy Punch.
"Artur [Beterbiev]! Karma caught up with him [Dmitry Bivol]. Well guys, karma caught up with that a**hole. Artur, I'm happy for you. Now, my fight is in court."

This marks the latest development in Ekaterina's fractured relationship with Dmitry, with whom she has two children. The pair divorced last year and she has made a litany of allegations regarding his behavior. Meanwhile, Dmitry has remained relatively silent about his ex-wife, even amid her celebrations.
Instead, he is currently concerned with his split-decision loss to Beterbiev, which has generated controversy in the boxing world. Matchroom Boxing chairman Eddie Hearn was outraged by the decision, while disgraced boxer Ryan Garcia labeled the outcome a robbery.
The defeat lost Bivol his WBA light heavyweight title to Beterbiev, who now owns it along with the WBO, WBC, and IBF belts, rendering him the division's undisputed kingpin. A rematch will likely take place, as a case could be made for a split-decision win for either man, with even a draw being possible.
What happened between Dmitry Bivol and his ex-wife?
Dmitry Bivol and Ekaterina Bivol have known each other for years. The pair married in 2013 and had two children together. Unfortunately, their divorce last year has seen a string of alarming allegations emerge, with Ekaterina having accused her ex-husband of physical abuse, controlling behavior, and more.
She has since done everything in her power to inconvenience him, even revealing alleged physical ailments he had ahead of his bout with Artur Beterbiev. How their saga ends remains to be seen, but it appears set for a legal confrontation.
