Comments Thread For: WBC To Remove All Boxers From Russia and Belarus From Its Rankings; Policy, Exceptions Explained

[Throwback714]

Disgusting policy. Disgusting

[K Man]

WHY would Suliman enforce a rule against fighters that have nothing to do on what their national leaders impose/dictate?
Unless Suliman has unseen interest $$ or behind the scene decisions for others benefits OR.. himself. I'm saddened.

[TheIronMike]

When will Sulaiman take action against the Mexican Cartels?

[Liondw]

The WBC, this smacks of virtue signalling.

So they deprive fighters of opportunities because ofcof those countries political policies? Yes, can say war mongering countries, but have a look at what America and Great Britain has done.

Of course, they won't dare implement this policy against Bivol and Beterbiev, to say one is more in California, and the other in Canada.

[SUBZER0ED]

Athletes shouldn't be made to suffer for the actions of their countries' leaders. If these boxers aren't in the Russian army and they aren't praising ***** for invading Ukraine, they shouldn't be subjected to this type of treatment.

[RyanjLarose]

That will be because of the war or because the same Russian has easily and consecutively beaten the two best Mexican boxers of today.

came in to say this lol

[Clegg]

Thats whats happening! Maybe next time tussia can think twice invading another country!

Good job!

Sadly I don't think a boxer being ranked or not ever has ever stopped a war from happening.

Max Schmelling was German during WW2

Yes and he should of never been fighting... Unless he renounced his heritage and moved to another country.

God Bless America

[MrShakeAndBake]

Please tell me this is sarcasm and you don't seriously think that analogy works.

Please tell me what the heck is the difference?!

[peplz]

Impossible. Jack Johnson, Joe Louis/Max Schmeleng, and Muhammad Ali proved that can’t ever be the case

Racism against black fighters/people is not global politics.
