This right here. So, WBC won't allow a ******n fighter (like Beterbiev) to fight under a ******n flag (so Beterbiev fights under a Canadian flag, which is where he lives). Then, they won't give Bivol (who lives in America) even a chance to fight under an American flag. Then, at the same time, they order kovalev (who also lives in America) to fight for a title eliminator.

Complete and utter clown shoes right here. Every time the WBC says anything from here on out all I'm going to translate it into is "wAh WaH wUh WaH WuH"

Beterbiev has been in Canada for 10+ years, he lives in Canada, his children were born in Canada, he has a Canadian passport and Canadian residency and a boxing licence from Canada... Bivol probably just has a green card to "work" in the U.S. ...Just so you know ...

Artur should drop WBC belt to the garbage and they should fight for other belts.

Pushed? And I don't really see how it's clear based on the quotes from Bivol, who's said numerous times Canelo doesn't interest him.

The game is prize fighting, if Bivol and his team get an offer they really like from Canelo, it's their choice to accept or go in another direction. Unless there's a rematch clause in place...

Bivol is all over the place with his quotes. He also said "I'm not worried or think about canelo"

The problem isn't the WBC belt... The problem is Top Rank vs Matchroom ... If it was up to Bivol and Beterbeiev the fight would have already taken place... And Artur would be undisputed...

Whats the betting Heard slipped some money to Sulaiman to say this crap?

[landotter]

I hope Artur chucks that WBC belt to the wind and fights Bivol. It is not about titles. Those 2 are obviously the best at 175 and this worthless organization does not need to sanction it for it to be true.

All that means is less fees out of the wages of the boxers who earn them. Piss on these worthless, toothless, parasite organizations.

Beterbiev against Bivol is the only play here.

So you're saying that Eddie Hearn will be forcing Bivol to fight Canelo at 168 - and that Bivol, his team and his other co-promotional company have no say in the matter. Eddie Hearn doesn't have magical powers to force fighters to fight - it's about money (which is normal in boxing). If Bivol and his team are offered money that's too good to turn down, they'll take the fight.

I wouldn't say he's being "forced" to do it, but he's not the boss! That's obvious because one day Bivol says he's only interested in fighting Beterbiev for Undisputed @ 175, the next day Hearn is talking about Bivol fighting Canelo at 168 for Undisputed at 168!

It's fine though, it's not like he said horribly racist things or beat women or anything...
