Comments Thread For: WBC Head Says Dmitry Bivol Should Have Contacted Him to Appeal Stance Against Russian Fighters

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If Dmitry Bivol felt so strongly that he was being maligned by the World Boxing Council, the Kryzgsztan-born Russian native should have reached out to the sanctioning body and submitted a formal complaint, according to its president.

Why would he bother when he was asked directly if the fight will be allowed and he said no? not like he didn't know Bivol wanted that fight but he kept shutting it down instantly.

This ban the WBC got this ban on Russian/Belarusian fighters is messed up. Shouldn't be accountable for something they have no power over regardless of where they align.

Mauricio is so full of ****.

Sulaiman is such a piece of ****, along with everyone else responsible for the embarrassing way in which Bivol has been treated. Nothing they can do can erase the whooping he put on Canelo though. And no, I'm not a Canelo "hater."

He shouldn’t have to contact you in order to get you to reverse your hypocritical stance. Wbc is fully corrupt and biased, but suddenly want to stand on some high moral ground when it comes to Russia vs Ukraine? Foh

"Nope, the WBC said that they aren't going to sanction any fights for any Russian."
"I, Mauricio Sulaiman, will not allow a unification bout between Bivol and Beterbiev."
...
"OMG Bivol, why didn't you just ask us, what's wrong wit you."

Keep politics out of boxing! Bivol did nothing wrong, it's not his fault ***** is an tyrant. Bivol's career is being shortened by incompetents in the boxing universe.

“We have explained consistently several times that Bivol has to contact the WBC and put his case forward, explaining why the WBC should not consider him Russian,” See,this is where I have my biggest issue. The guy is Russian,take it or leave it. He shouldn't have to come crawling on his hands and knees and lie about his nationality in order to fight for a belt. Artur is even more Russian than bivol,but still has that wbc strap. Imagine someone telling Canelo that in order to fight for a belt,he needs to explain why he shouldn't be considered Mexican. Enough of this social justice warrior bull**** and just let these guys fight.

Symbolism.......a act that shows unity agaist an aggressive force to let it be known that this can not stand. Symbolic.
