Your complete Beterbiev-Bivol undercard, headlined by Shakur Stevenson vs. Joe Cordina, will now be proven stay on DAZN PPV for an unspecified worth within the U.S. In distinction, the principle occasion, the undisputed mild heavyweight championship bout between the unbeaten unified 175-lb champion Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs) and WBA champ Bivol (23-0, 12 KOs), will likely be proven totally free on ESPN+ for subscribers on the identical evening.
Followers Reject Stevenson PPV Headliner
U.S. followers are rebelling on social media, saying they really feel your complete undercard, together with the match between WBC light-weight champion Shakur Stevenson and Joe Cordina, is horrible and never price paying for. The one combat People view as worthy to look at on the October twelfth card is Beterbiev vs. Bivol, and now that’s been moved to ESPN+.
Stevenson just lately signed a two-fight take care of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, however he’s not a PPV fighter but, and it’s extremely questionable whether or not he ever will likely be. U.S. followers on social media don’t wish to see Shakur headline in opposition to the little-known 32-year-old Cordina, particularly the rest of the undercard, which they view as “Mid.”
Hearn has been blabbing about turning Shakur right into a “world star.” That received’t occur as a result of his combating model is a dime a dozen. There are tons of runners like him who can’t draw flies and by no means will as a result of followers don’t prefer to see that junk from fighters.

DAZN PPV Card in Want of Overhaul
DAZN must discover a higher essential occasion for the October twelfth PPV card and bury Shakur vs. Cordina close to the center or on the backside of the undercard. Stevenson, 27, isn’t watchable, and his opponent is horrible past phrases. Shakur is essentially the most terrible fighter to look at within the sport and shouldn’t be on PPV playing cards within the spot.
There’s nonetheless time to discover a high quality headliner for the principle occasion for the DAZN portion of the cardboard, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
I’d place Stevenson-Cordina close to the beginning of the cardboard and put the standard fights on the prime to curiosity U.S followers.
They had been prepared to pay earlier than as a result of Beterbiev vs. Bivol combat being the principle occasion, however they’re focused on seeing the boring, safety-first Shakur (22-0, 10 KOs) as a headliner in opposition to former IBF tremendous featherweight champion Cordina (17-1, 9 KOs), contemporary off a knockout loss to Anthony Cacace on Might 18th.
