    I don’t see what the big issue is with his post fight behaviour. He shook his opponent’s hand after the fight and then stated his intentions for a 3rd match. It’s not like he ran out of the ring and said he was robbed like Fury. Bivol didn’t have any issue with it. But yeah Beterbiev’s connection to radical Islam and that terrorist scumbag Kadryov suggests a lack of morals.

    He’s already juiced in with Kadyrov. He wouldn’t have jumped into the ring had they not shared the same religion and personal ideology.

    As opposed to Floyd Mayweather taking pictures with that genocidal maniac Netanyahu or dancing like a little ****** for shekels with the IDF?

    The only people who have issues with Kadyrov seem to be the homos, Zionists and those who wave pro Ukraine flags it seems.....

    He was saying to Hearn: "you give me opponents and I beat them". This loss probably humbled him now.

    Or just anyone with a decent moral compass?

    Hmm, now you want to cling to the subjective/objective morality rabbit hole cope. Interesting. You’re a mohammedan I take it? In any case I think you’ve found your own answer about what type of person Kadryov is in your earlier post in this thread.

    I am a Muslim. I am no fan of Kadyrov. Just pointing out your bias.

    "Mohammadan" is a term racist pricks like to use when you have no other come back.

    What about Netanyahu? Are Americans required to disavow Israel given their government support for Israel despite its war crimes

    Or Bush for invading Iraq?

    What evidence is there for Beterbiev being able to influence Kadryov?

    No it was the common term for an adherent of your religion in the west pre 9/11. It just means follower of Mohammad. I prefer it. People who reflexively try to categorize others as racists tend to be mentally stunted, yes. Muslim isn’t a race in any case.

    My thoughts exactly. Bivol himself stated he didn't feel slighted by Beterbiev. People are making an elephant out of mosquito.

    Ummm nothing from what Bivol was saying indicated anything about Beterbiev showing any disrespectful behavior at all. He said that they have mutual respect for each other and that Beterbiev told him that he wouldn’t shake his hand come third fight. Obviously it wasn’t intended as a sign of spiteful remark towards Bivol but more of letting him know that he’s going to be more focused and less friendly given how important the third fight is going to be.

    There is footage of them shaking hands after the fight. Clearly they are trying to market the third fight. If your family lives in Chechnya you do what Kadyrov says.

    What are you guys smoking?
