Dmitry Bivol successfully defended his WBA, IBF and The Ring titles with a unanimous decision victory over Michael Eifert. All three judges scored the fight 120-107.
Dmitry Bivol retained his unified light heavyweight titles on May 30, 2026, turning back the challenge of Michael Eifert with a dominant unanimous decision. All three judges were in complete agreement, each scoring the contest 120-107 — a near-shutout that left no room for debate.
Bivol entered the fight as the reigning WBA, IBF and The Ring magazine light heavyweight champion, and he left with all three belts still around his waist. The 120-107 scorecard from every judge signals a performance that was commanding from the opening bell to the final round, with Bivol apparently in control throughout all twelve rounds of the contest.
Eifert, meanwhile, was unable to solve the champion over the course of the fight, as the lopsided scores suggest he was unable to claim a single round on any of the three official scorecards.
Why it matters
- Bivol successfully unified and retained the WBA, IBF and The Ring light heavyweight titles in a single outing
- The 120-107 sweep across all three judges underlines his continued dominance at 175 pounds
- Eifert's challenge was turned aside decisively, keeping the division's title picture firmly centered on Bivol
