Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Stands Firm on Bivol, Explains Why Beterbiev is Not Affected By Ban on Russian Fighters

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman expressed that it is painful for him every time that he gets asked about how WBA 175-pound champion Dmitry Bivol is affected by the WBC's refusal to sanction contests involving Russian fighters.

"A sanctioning body that fights for peace, for justice against abuse of power".. The last part of the statement "abuse of power" fully describes the WBC as it stands today under this corrupt pig.

"We are a sanctioning body that fights for peace, for justice against abuse of power"

I just threw up reading that and need take a hot scolding shower.

Wbc - has an issue with a person who has nothing to do with the war, being from the country initiating the war.

Wbc - has little to no issue granting titles and title shots (both real and created belts) to boxers who take banned substances and use loaded wraps in fights, as long as they’re from the same country that the Wbc represents.

We won't give the guy who beat my lover carnela a chance to be undisputed

So what happens if Russia carpet bombs Kiev and ends the war tomorrow? Now can Bivol fight for the WBC strap?

[PittyPat]

So fuck it, make the fight without We Be Crooks' belt and it'd still decide who's #1 at LHW. Say Bivol won, but didn't win that title, surely he'd still be universally considered undisputed champ? Haney/Lopez/Lomachenko was muddy with that whole Franchise/not undisputed thing, but this wouldn't be the same.

You can be at odds with the country's political position but not to its people.

Sulaiman you piece of excrement - it didn't stop you sanctioning the Bivol Canelo fight in May 2022 when the US and all western governments had already been implementing sanctions against Russia and Russians since February 2022.


Arslanbek Makhmudov is born in Russia and currently holds the WBC-NABF heavyweight title


Sulaiman is a Hypocrite of the worst order.

Arum too. TR promotes Anderson who is fighting Zhan Kosobutsky a Kazahkstani who has fought many times in Moscow and Minsk - capital of Belarus which is Russia's supportive ally in the world.

Arslanbek Makhmudov is a Top Rank fighter.

Interestingly - Top Rank's website have both Beterbieb and Makhmudov as BORN in Montreal - https://www.toprank.com/fighters/
