Alexandr Ormanji Feb. 1, 2023, 9:16 a.m.

Mauricio Sulaiman, President of the WBC, explained why the fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will not take place.

“Bivol did not apply to the WBC. At the last congress, we clearly expressed our position. The position in relation to the boxers from Russia and Belarus is Bivol's business. At the moment, there have been no attempts to submit a request for a possible fight. For us, a mandatory title defense is Beterbiev's next fight. Callum Smith is a great boxer. His only loss was a decision against Canelo, and the Smith-Beterbiev fight will be very important, this is a mandatory defense ... "- said the functionary.
