"Dmitry Bivol's father was an ethnic Russian born in Moldavian SSR"

The Wiki is wrong. Bivol has a Romanian flag on his social profiles and the name "Bivol" is the Romanian word for ox. It's a common name among Romanians.

[SouthpawRight]

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.

Bivol is not Eastern European.

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.

Bivol pop has a Russian first name: Yuri

the top Korean pros are hybrid Russians: Tszyu, Golovkin, and now Bivol

the mystery is Biv claiming South Korea rather than North Korea

Biv background is in what were commie countries

Moldovan flag

it comes with the crest

If Biv had ethnic Romanian, he’d flag Romania too given the love he shows for his ethnic Korean side

Romanians borrowed the word Bivol from Slavonic tongues

but Romanians are a Latin ethnicity like the Italians and French

He changed it, he used to have the Romanian, Kazakh, and American flags too. He recently cut it to 4.

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.

Biv just has to keep on winning remain a big deal and we’ll get to the bottom of this

to make matters trickier

Like the US Russia too is a melting pot of sorts and open to assimilation

A resident who speaks Russian and is orthodox Christian who identifies as Russian would be accepted as one

that latest trailer made Biv come across most like

a Turkic soldier in the Mongol Horde who rode across the Eastern European steppes dropping a buncha Slavs

he slayed a bear too. The animal Alvarez recently used for his brand
