Dmitry Bivol vs Lenin Castillo Set for October 12


WBA regular light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol has finally found his next opponent. That guy is Lenin Castillo (20-2-1, 15KOs). If you’re not familiar with who he is, go to YouTube right now and type “Lenin Castillo vs Marcus Browne!”

In that fight you’ll see Browne, the top rated contender and then undefeated fighter, struggle badly with the unknown challenger. So much so, that many watching that fight felt Castillo should’ve been named the winner.

As for Bivol, he heads into this fight looking to continue to show why many people consider him the best at 175.

Both guys are coming off victories in March. Bivol against Bernard Hopkins conqueror Joe Smith by way of a unanimous decision and Castillo against Reinaldo Gonzalez by fifth round technical decision.

It’ll be interesting to see if Castillo can duplicate the success he had against Browne and parlay it into a victory.

This will be the champions fifth defense of the regular title. Hopefully, a win for allows him to be upgraded to WBA Super champion so that he can be considered an option for a unification in 2020!

Look for this fight to be on the under-card of Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyrone Spong live on DAZN!
