Suleiman: "I'm happy that Alvarez-Bivol will take place"

Andrew Karlov March 31, 2022, 2 a.m.

WBC President Maurizio Sulaiman supports the decision of the WBA leadership, which sanctions the fight for the world light heavyweight title between Saul Alvarez (51-1-2, 39 KOs) and Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs). The fight will be the main event of the evening of May 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“It would be a pity to cancel the efforts of both opponents or stick a stigma on their duel. I am glad that this fight will take place and its participants have a chance to show that boxing is out of politics," Suleiman said.

“It’s a delicate matter because we see what is happening, but we also understand that the boxers are not to blame for anything. This fight has nothing to do with the war," Suleiman added.
