Beterbiev became the undisputed light heavyweight champion with a majority decision victory over his svelte-standing rival, and while many would like to see an immediate rematch, Scully, who is a former trainer of Beterbiev, has other ideas on who his fighter should face next.

Last but not least, Scully mentioned that Beterbiev could also face the winner of the upcoming bout between IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and WBC champion Adonis Stevenson. This would be a huge unification fight and could potentially lead to Beterbiev becoming the first light heavyweight champion to hold all five major belts.
