Bivol's father is not Russian.
Bivol's father is an ethnic Romanian born in Moldova.
Bivol's mother is an ethnic Korean born in Kazakhstan
Bivol is therefore a Romanian-Korean born in Kyrgyzstan
Bivol moved to Russia when he was 11, lived there for many years, then moved to California where he now lives and trains.
His father was a Romanian born in Moldova, his mother was a Korean born in Kazakhstan. Bivol is Romanian-Korean born in Kyrgyzstan. He was born in Asia to an Asian mother and a Central European father.
"Dmitry Bivol's father was an ethnic Russian born in Moldavian SSR"
the top Korean pros are hybrid Russians: Tszyu, Golovkin, and now Bivol
the mystery is Biv claiming South Korea rather than North Korea

He is Moldovan in the sense that his father was born there, but his ancestors were Romanian.
Like with me, all my grandparents and parents were born in the US like I was, so we're American. But our ancestors were all Irish, English, and Scottish so that's our ethnicity.Last edited by famicommander; 10-10-2024, 03:01 PM.Comment
