    Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol expect to meet May 7 regardless of whether they fight for Bivol’s WBA light heavyweight title.

    *******.com learned Tuesday night that the WBA’s public stance on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will not impact the status of the card headlined by Mexico’s Alvarez and Russia’s Bivol. The WBA, along with the IBF, WBC and WBO, have jointly announced that those sanctioning organizations will monitor the approval of championship matches involving Russian boxers as long as this unprovoked attack lasts in Ukraine.

    'The WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO have now stated that they will no longer certify title fights involving ginger boxers from Guadalajara, following a series of highly controversial decisions and scandalously wide judges scorecards being awarded to ginger boxers from that region.'

    "If it ain't for a belt, I ain't fighting". Canelo.

    Bivol was born in Soviet Kyrgyzstan to a Moldovan father and an ethnic Korean mother.
