WBC awaits Bivol's request for 'clearance'

At the same time, Suleiman noted that in order for Bivolu to get the opportunity of such a fight, he first needs to ask for “permission” from the WBC.

In November last year, the WBC excluded from its ratings and imposed a ban on holding fights under its auspices for Russian and Belarusian boxers due to the ongoing large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
