**Eddie Hearn**, co-promoter of the unified world champion in the light heavyweight division (up to 79.4 kg) **Dmitry Bivol**, shared his thoughts on the timeline for the Russian fighter’s next match.

«Bivol has undergone surgery and is currently in the recovery phase, which is going very well. We are planning for his fight to take place in early 2026,» Hearn mentioned in an interview with the YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.
