All Bivol has to do is file an exemption with the WBC citing reasons why he should be allowed to fight and why there are mitigating circumstances He is not ethnic Russian He does not travel to Russia He lives in California His children go to school in America He is Kyrgyzstan passport He pays taxes to the IRS This is his only means of income The whole ban on Russian athletes seems like a soft ban and the the WBC are aware it makes them seem even more corrupt than people already think they are So this is Mauricio Sulaiman clarifying the situation and it seems like he won't object. He just wants to save face and avoid bad PR. However interesting to note that Bivol himself has not approached the WBC, commicated at all with the WBC nor he or his manager have filed an exemption. The whole situation could easily be fixed bu Bivol's manager seems incompetent (WBC exemption filing and no backup opponent for 2023,) or greedy (Canelo negotiations) and has cost his fighter multiple paydays off the back of a great 2022. What a useless manager he has. It's all here. Time stamp at 32:25 This content is protected
Bivol won't fight Beterbiev. He won't get a mega payday taking 50% of the purse that this fight commands. It's a crying shame that we won't get to see two of the best LHW ever face each other.
Ohhh thank you Mr. Suleiman sir, how generous of you. What would Boxing, no infact what would human civilization do without this great man and his Organization?
WBC doesn't care when it comes to Bivol vs Beterbiev. He just didn't want Bivol fighting Canelo again.
The fight will suddenly materialize when Beterbiev is 40-41 years old. And even then he still likely beats Bivol. If father time catches Beterbiev in the ring it will have to someone with a big punch.
Beterbiev will finally lose when he's an inactive and faded old man and his critics will say 'I always said he was nothing special' This has to be one of the best fights to never happen and it's getting to the point that it's too late already, the matchup is almost already ruined to me.... almost...
