He doesn’t name Dmitry Bivol, although the timing invites that interpretation. Bivol’s manager, Vadim Kornilov, has told The Ring that a trilogy is being explored for spring 2027. That remains a possibility rather than an announced fight.

Beterbiev has been out since losing their February 22, 2025 rematch. As of October 6, that is 591 days without a competitive round. A third meeting next spring could stretch the layoff beyond two years unless he fights someone else first.
