Why did Bivol sit the year out?

[dan-b]

Seems like he ducked the Beterbiev fight because "muh A side", "muh split" and then waited on another Canelo payday. Not capitalising on his best year in boxing was a mistake.

When was Beterbiev fight offered to him? Are you new? WBC are not gonna allow him to fight for WBC belt and Arum also made it clear he has no intention to make Beterbiev - Bivol.

Hearn has no more fights left for him. Azeez, Buatsi and others are not with Hearn and they are not "ready". It is s shame.

Bivol is the victim of what is boxing today. If you are super skilled Russian fighter, you get no good fights.

Bivol would be my favorite for beating Canelo for all the belts at 168 and Beterbiev at 175.

Sulaiman says a lot of things, didn't negotiations fall apart primarily over money?

Don't forget Bob Arum said HELL NO! Also.

Don't forget Bob Arum said HELL NO! Also.

Yes.

The best guy at 168 -175 is frozen out.

This sport stinks, I hardly even support that.

Cus Bivol just white washed Canelo and Ramirez. Fighting him = not enough pay and guaranteed a loss.



Even contenders like Buatsi, Yarde and Lyndon Arthur turned down a title shot. i can't even make this up. weird.



Arum has gone on record saying they won't allow Beterbiev fight Bivol. WBC Sulaiman also said Bivol can't fight for the belt




tbh I think Bivol might be P4P the best fighter in the sport. His style is the most difficult to win against. He is just like Usyk but he's even better defensively.

Bivol is the best fighter in sport. You see top 10 contenders in his division saying they are not ready for him.

You don`t see for example somebody saying he is not ready for Canelo. Even welterweights want to fight Canelo.

Where did you see that? Because Sulaiman already said he wouldn't sanction any fight with Bivol because he's Russian, and Bob said he wasn't going to allow the fight either.

Issues here are all promoter. Bob doesn't want the fight, and Hearn doesn't have anything. Buatsi turned down a seven figure offer to fight Bivol to fight Dan Azeez instead.

Nobody wants to fight Bivol. The Beterbiev fight was never offered to him. He's been calling out Beterbiev since at least 2019.

[Teetotaler69]

Because he has a terrible promoter

i honestly think Bivol might be P4P #1.
