Comments Thread For: Canelo-Bivol Will Be Non-Title Fight If WBA Won't Sanction Because Bivol Is Russian Citizen

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

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

[Dark night 24]

Wow such BS! Why are we punishing people that have nothing to do with the war?! Bivol doesn’t support ***** this is terrible.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they make an exception lol

Canelo doesn't care about the belt he has enough of those he wants the scalp.

This crisis has gotten ridiculous… So what is next void all Russian hockey players contracts in the NHL? Dominik Hasek has actually suggested it… The Russian citizens & athletes have nothing to do with this war so why punish them?

The title will be on the line for Canelo. Mendoza ain’t missing out on those inflated sanctioning fees.

Canelo doesn't care about the belt he has enough of those he wants the scalp.

I’m thinking he does want the belt, because he’s looking at undisputed at 175 in 2023. In my opinion of course. Imagine…

That's ridiculous. Boxing already has enough problems with its own politics now they want to bring on real politics? There are alot of Russians against the war and bivol might be one of them. Wonder how carnelo feels since that's the reason he chose bivol cause of a title.
