On August 4, 2018, at the Mark G.

Bivol started fast, controlling the fight behind a sharp jab, crisp combinations, and steady pressure. Chilemba, known for his toughness and awkward defensive style, proved extremely durable and survived the early attacks, forcing the bout to go the full distance. Over 12 rounds, Bivol consistently dictated the tempo, landing the cleaner punches and keeping Chilemba largely on the defensive. Despite Chilemba’s resilience, Bivol’s superior technique and ring control made the difference throughout the contest. When the final bell rang, the judges awarded Bivol a unanimous decision victory with scorecards of 120–108, 120–108, and 116–112, successfully retaining his world title. 📍 Date: August 4, 2018 📍 Venue: Mark G.
