Dmitry Bivol’s return to the ring is set for Saturday, May 30, in Ekaterinburg, Russia, where he will defend his IBF and WBA light heavyweight titles against Michael Eifert in a headline bout. The fight is scheduled to stream live on the DAZN streaming app and Free on the RCC: MMA & Boxing YouTube Channel for international audiences, with the main card beginning around 10 a.m. ET and ring walks for the main event expected roughly around 1:45 p.m. ET.
Bivol enters the bout as the established star, returning after a 15-month absence and a recent win over Artur Beterbiev. Eifert comes in as the mandatory challenger, making this a meaningful title defense rather than a tune-up. The matchup is being framed as a significant test for Bivol as he re-establishes himself in the division.
