Dmitry Bivol retained his WBA, IBF and The Ring light heavyweight titles on May 30, 2026, turning in a dominant unanimous decision performance against Michael Eifert, with all three judges scoring the contest 120-107 in the champion's favor.
The lopsided scorecards tell the story of a one-sided evening. A 120-107 tally across the board — the maximum possible margin in a twelve-round fight — signals that Bivol controlled virtually every minute of the bout, leaving no meaningful argument for the challenger on any judge's card.
Why it matters
- Bivol continues to hold three of the most prestigious titles in the light heavyweight division simultaneously, cementing his status as the premier fighter at 175 pounds.
- The dominant margin reinforces his position atop the divisional hierarchy and strengthens his case for major matchups against other elite light heavyweights.
- Eifert, despite the loss, gained experience on the sport's biggest stage against one of boxing's elite champions.
