Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol’s showdown has been simulated, and didn’t go as is widely expected.

The two leading light-heavyweight boxers will finally do battle in a hotly anticipated clash this Saturday night in Riyadh.

All of the undisputed titles will be on the line for the career-defining outing, with the boxing world barely able to separate the undefeated pair.

Beterbiev has shot to notoriety for his ferocious punching and aggressive style, which sees him hold a 100 per cent KO record during his professional career.

Bivol is a slick mover with technique and movement in abundance, but still carries a stoppage threat when punching in volume.

It is an intriguing clash of styles which has seen boxing experts simply unable to predict the outcome.

But new boxing video game Undisputed has been able to do so, pitting the pair against each other in a simulation.

And although Bivol likes to dictate the pace, the Russian began at breakneck speed letting his hands go from the opening bell.

He met his fellow champion in centre ring and sensationally after attacking the body, unleashed a crunching left hook which left Beterbiev flat on his back on the canvas.

Luckily for the big puncher, he was able to climb back to his feet by the ten count and tried to rally back into the round.

But he found himself dropping to a knee again before the end of the round, after some vicious body work again from Bivol.

He once again beat the judges count, and was able to cling on until the bell sounded for the end of a disastrous opening period.

Beterbiev wasn’t out of the woods at all as the onslaught continued, and he was dropped for a third time by a brutal left hook.

But incredibly he rose again and the thrills kept coming as he turned the tables, dropping his rival into the ropes with a stunning uppercut.

Bivol was shellshocked but clambered to his feet, and in a back and forth affair it was he who regained momentum.

In a remarkably paced third round, Bivol dropped his rival twice more as he recovered and put his foot to the ante.

A chopping and short right hand sent Beterbiev to the canvas again, but this time he was unable to recover as he lay splattered on the deck.

Bivol was declared the victor, and would be handed all of the belts at 175lbs if he is to replicate the stunning feat this weekend.

It was a thrilling win, and one fans won’t anticipate when fight night arrives, given Beterbiev will be the most likely to land a brutal one-punch stoppage.

The winner could have the opportunity for some huge fights in the pipline afterwards, with the likes of Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez waiting in the wings.

Beterbiev is in the final stages of his career, however, and could elect to retire at the age of 39 if he does clinch all the marbles.
