As much as I want to see this fight and understand Bivol is anti the invasion a clear message needs to be sent out to this lunatic ***** that this is completely unacceptable and therefore he should answer to his fellow countrymen why this is. You won't see ***** on the front line!!!

Punishing an athlete for something he has no control of like his nationality, it’s absurd. He stated on numerous accusations he’s against the war and wants world peace.

FACTS! Fans are tired seeing Canelo fight the Fielding,Yildirim and Bivols of the world. He needs to grow a spine and stop ducking Charlo, Andrade,Benavidez, Beterbiev,Briedis and Okolie. Those are the fights the fans want to see. No more of these eurobums shyte.

This could be a safety issue for Bivol now that Klitschko has made this public. We don’t need any demonstrations during a boxing match or weigh in.

Complicated issue. Don’t want to wade too far outside boxing, but the people all around are always the victims in these things. We have no way of accurately polling Russian citizens about this all. And many middle and working classes have seen their life savings crater as ruble nosedives. Maybe under a neutral flag is way to go. Again - no easy answer

"Klitschko, 45, believes banning Russian athletes from high-profile sporting competitions will increase the pressure for ***** to reconsider his military intrusion"

Yeah, right. I can imagine ***** saying "ah, well, if Canelo doesn't fight Bivol, then it's time for me to stop the war in Ukraine."

The West: marginalize and treat every Russian, including civilians, like pariahs and second class citizens.

Makes zero sense. You can only imagine how much this antagonises the people of said country, further consolidating their support of their leader. The opposite of what the West should be trying to achieve.

Unless I’m seeing something out dated but IBF dropped Mahkmudov the Russian heavyweight but still ranks Bivol ? Is this a Case of money talks and selective picking who boxing drops out of rankings ?

Miss the point much??
