Beterbiev is a Canadian Citizen is the likely difference.
Personally, I always felt he put up that roadblock for Canelos protection. It wasn't an issue until Bivol said he'd move down and fight Canelo at 168. Then it was "We won't sanction that, gotta fight him at 175 like he wants" then it was "well then I'll fight Beterbiev for undisputed!" "No...we won't sanction that either...and also, we're calling Beterbiev's mandatory 8 months early"
