Comments Thread For: Sulaiman Says WBC Will Not Sanction Canelo-Bivol Title Fight at 168

[Marchegiano]

Too busy making Mayweather extra belts no one cares about.

Juneteenth, btw, is the dumbest sounding holiday ever. Celebrate that uneducated ignorance. It's woke.

This doesn't have anything to do with Canelo. WBC, WBO, and IBF all announced March 1, 2022 that they wouldn't sanction any title bouts with Russian or Belarusian fighters until the Ukraine conflict ends. Bivol's just the highest profile fighter that is in the crosshairs here.

The other top guys aren't getting to fight for titles, or have to be listed as citizens of other countries, like Beterbiev.

Kovalev, Alexander Bes*****, Zaur Abdullaev, and Magomed Kurbanov all got removed from the WBC rankings as well in November 2022. The only other Russian left in the WBC rankings appears to be Arslanbek Makhmudov, and that's because he lives in Montreal.

Has Mauricio not had a long history of gargling Canelo's balls?


Or is Saul just a poor victim here, like always?

The WBC is gargling Beterbiev’s balls and protecting him too, then. Let’s hear you say that.

Yet he will sanction Bumlanga fighting Canelo? Phuck this sheet
