Mauricio Sulaiman, WBC President, explained why Arthur Beterbiev, world light heavyweight champion according to WBC, IBF, WBO, continues to compete despite the fact that Suleiman’s federation had previously removed all boxers from Russia and Belarus from the ratings and suspended all.

“Arthur has lived in Canada for 15 years. He has a Canadian passport and a Canadian boxing license. His children were born in Canada. This is a completely different story,” Suleiman said.
