😂 I’m a boxing enthusiast from Australia, and I watched this guy box for Russia at Tokyo Olympics! He’s a beast for sure, but when tf did he turn Australian 😂
@@Viewer2228 WBA allowed Bivol to fight. This fight was sanctioned by the NABF which like the WBC and other sanctioning bodies doesn't allow Russian fighters in their rankings while the war is ongoing. Same reason why the Bivol-Beterbiev negotiations fell through, Beterbiev has a Canadian passport but Bivol is strictly Russian lol
@@Youstabemweslabem Timmy born & bred in Sydney mate but we certainly took Kostya - then straight back to Russia when retired! 😂 Beterbiev will probably do the same.
@@garygraham2934 All countries have foreign citizens as boxing champions. Australia is no different; they came and we made them champions. To name a few: Rocky Mattioli 154lb champion; Vic Darchinyan, Michael Katsidis, George Kambosos, Sakio Bika, Gary St, Clair and the list goes on.
I thought these guys were cruiserweights..light heavyweight and they're that bulked up what cowards..look how small bivol is compared to these guys and still the best in that division
😂🤣These comments about him not being Australian are hilariously ignorant. I am sure he knows he's not Australian. Countless fighters fight or play for or out of countries they were not born in or whose ethnicity they do not share.
Dude is Russian but puts Vpn and becomes Australian 😂😂😂😂
He's chechen not russian lol

russians arent allowed to compete internationally due to war in ukraine. so fighters have to change nationality to fight i assume
@@Sayfullah570how did bivol compete ?

@@Sayfullah570I’m pre sure he trains outta Aus bro, trains w George Kambosos now
He trains in Sydney, I’m his barber I actually cut his hair today, looking forward to his fight coming up soon.
I really like Khataev and always have, since before his Olympic bronze medal 🥉 for Russia 🇷🇺, but yeah, he’s as much Australian as I’m Chinese!😅
He's so much australian like beterbiev is canadian
We will claim him
We will take him as we took Tim Tszyu. Tell me, your country never had a foreign champion?

Powerful dude, but a little too early for Beterbiev comparisons
I think it's because of the similarities in his fighting style with Beterbiev
i believe he can go the distance with beterbiev, seems very durable
I thought these guys were cruiserweights..light heavyweight and they're that bulked up what cowards..look how small bivol is compared to these guys and still the best in that division
@@draco2xx
He was horrible defense
Бивол не лучший в этом дивизионе с одним поясом
Khataev vs Ben Whittaker rematch down the line will be fireworks
He’s as Australian as khamzat is Swedish 😂
I'm from Australia and I've never heard of Khataev. I'd like to see more of him though. Good call by the ref in this fight.
He represented Russia at the Olympics.. Aussies likes to claim other nationality
Pathetic!
@@narutopelone7440 We'll gladly accapt him.
@@narutopelone7440bro just shut up if u dont know anything
@@ordiiib HAHAHA
The man is not Australian. I saw him fight for Russia in the olympics against an Australian (Paulo Aokuso). This is annoying!
Who cares bro its a flag on the screen, means nothing.
No different to what Kostyra Tszyu did.
Lennox Lewis isn’t British , beterbiev isn’t Canadian. Any more dumb statements ?
He's an Australian citizen now probably
Enjoy the fights ignore the politics.😅
He is ethnic Chechen as is Artur Beterbiev.
👍
what australian guy they talk about?
Imam Khataev is Australian. I met him in Sydney. He said, "Gday mate, put a shrimp on the barbie" 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
great stoppage!
Chechens Imam khataev and Artur Beterbiev

Tough man. If he has the right people around him, he most certainly will be a threat
If this guy's Australian then I'm Congolese.
You are
@@chechen_nokhcho Not this guy

No big deal then...

Another un-known fighters setting up traps for the top guys.
Another Kostyra Tszyu Australian.
Ут кажется Бивол пролетит как фанера над Парижем 😂
Exciting fighter but he got his head boxed off by Ben Whittaker in the Olympics from what I recall
Pros are different
Nah,beterbiev proven power even made usyk take a knee. Khataev is good technicaly though.
Right now he also has a 100 percent ko ratio. He just not champion yet and is 30. So he is a younger Beterbiev pretty much
@@dondieseliman654 the power is not the same. Then he must improve his precission and timing to be as good as beterbiev.
😂🤣These comments about him not being Australian are hilariously ignorant. I am sure he knows he's not Australian.
Countless fighters fight or play for or out of countries they were not born in or whose ethnicity they do not share.
First and foremost HE'S NOT AUSTRALIAN. Just like Beterbiev IS NOT CANADIAN. Geez.....
There’s no point discriminating against the country that feeds you and houses you
Lennox also fight under canadian flag
These Caucasus mountain warriors are taking over mma and boxing
Ladies, and gentlemen, that is the power of my people. People from Australia.
llooked good
I wonder what would happen if fighters of today learned how to jab?
Jab is overrated, as long as they get the job done, they can swing their arm like windmill
Asalamualaikum imam 🎉🫂🤝
No defence
Too slow
Too heavily muscled. He'll gas in a tough fight.
compared to beterbiev ?
His style reminds me of canelo
