Dmitry Bivol successfully defended his WBA, IBF and The Ring light heavyweight titles with a unanimous decision victory over Mikhael Eifert. All three judges scored the bout 120-107 in Bivol's favor.
Dmitry Bivol retained his WBA, IBF and The Ring light heavyweight titles on May 30, 2026, turning in a dominant unanimous decision performance against Mikhael Eifert. All three judges saw the fight identically, scoring it 120-107 in Bivol's favor across all twelve rounds.
The lopsided scorecards tell the story of a champion who was never seriously threatened. A 120-107 margin — the maximum possible on a twelve-round card — signals that Eifert was unable to claim a single round on any of the three judges' cards, underscoring the gulf in class between the champion and his challenger on the night.
Why it matters
- Bivol's hold on the WBA, IBF and The Ring titles remains intact, cementing his status as the division's dominant force.
- A shutout decision of this nature strengthens his résumé and bolsters any future case for a unification bout at 175 pounds.
- Eifert's path back to title contention will require a significant rebuild following a loss of this magnitude on the scorecards.
