"We won't sanction the Russian against the Russian"

Makes sense.

Keep the same energy strip all the US fighters for their government bombing these middle eastern and african countries

Plot twist…bivol gonna go to 168 and take all of canolos titles including the WBC the huncho belt AND the pueblo-jalisco belt! Wbc can either comply or not get their fat sanctioning fee

[JakeTheBoxer]

So if Bivol tomorrow gets the new licence as an American or Korean fighter, it will be ok for WBC? Just like Beterbiev is Canadian now?

Sulaiman being 'just' definitely spells trouble , his stance is right but there must be other factors at work as this guy hasn't a straight bone in his body.Him missing the opportunity to make another belt is beyond su****ious !

WBC won't sanction a Bivol fight but will sanction the upcoming mandatory. And also sanction the Anthony Yarde and Joe Smith fights which both happened since the war started

hypocracy!!

Shut up, moron!
The world would be ****ed without all the help America gives.
Notice how they all ask for America's help when in trouble, and they get it, but still moan and complain about America.
******* like you would be run over by dictators like *****.

Sulaiman, is corrupt as they come, why wouldn't his organization not sanction the WBC's title for the best fight at 175?
Because he's dirty, and his lord, and master Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has eye on winning that belt, but he's going to get that eye shut by Dmitry "Yuryevich" Bivol.

Because Beterbiev is Canadian now.

This is very tacky behavior by The WBC and Mauricio Sulaiman. Let the kid fight. He didn’t do anything wrong. Sulaiman needs to stay out of geopolitics and just focus on boxing.

So if Clenelo some how talked Bivol into a rematch at 168 would the WBC sanction then? If not then Bivol won't fight at that weight. The rematch would definitely be at 175. At that weight does the WBA do the same?
