Bivol Routs Eifert in Russian Homecoming to Retain Titles

Dmitry Bivol returned from a long layoff in dominant fashion, sweeping Michael Eifert by unanimous decision to retain his unified light heavyweight titles in Yekaterinburg on May 30, 2026.

All three judges scored the 12-round bout 120-107 for Dmitry Bivol , who dropped Eifert with a left hook in the first round and controlled every round at the UGMK Arena.

Bivol defended his WBA and IBF belts on the night; the WBO title was not contested because the fight was staged in Russia.

The win moved Bivol to 26-1, while Eifert fell to 14-2 with the lopsided defeat.
