As HBO Boxing will be coming to an end in 2018, they will showcase one of their final episodes tonight. The main event will feature undefeated WBA light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol as he will be defending his title against former WBC and IBO light-heavyweight champion Jean Pascal. Bivol will be looking to continue his dominance in the light-heavyweight division. Pascal is a crafty veteran with good counterpunching skills, but he only fights in spots which can be taken advantage of by Bivol. Pascal will be a good test for the young and hungry Bivol.
At the weigh-in for this fight, the two fighters stared each other down intensely. Both fighters are in shape for this fight. Both fighters will show up to the Mark G. Etess Arena, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey looking to win this fight. This WBA light-heavyweight title fight should be a good Thanksgiving weekend treat for the boxing world. Check out the tale of the tape for tonight’s WBA light-heavyweight title fight between Dmitry Bivol and Jean Pascal.
