Some incredible news for boxing fans that believe Beterbiev vs Bivol in many ways is the biggest fight of the year.
Turki Alalshikh has struck again in an even more powerful way for the sport of boxing.
ESPN plus subscribers can catch the fight free now and the main event fight itself won’t be pay per view (the rest of the card will be though only at $14.99 but the main event is free non-ppv):
Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol on Oct 12th will be broadcast as a one-fight non-PPV event on ESPN+ in the USA. The rest of the card topped by Shakur Stevenson vs Joe Cordina will be a separate PPV which His Excellency Turki Alalshikh previously said would be priced at $14.99.

Obviously boxing fans are delighted but potential new fans of the sport tuning in for the first time to watch boxing too will now see one of the best fights in decades for free.
