Today, WBA (World Boxing Association) President Mendoza Jr. told the media that the May 9 Avarez Vs Biver battle will definitely bring the WBA light heavyweight super boxer gold belt, although Dmitry Biver (19-0, 11KO) is a Russian boxer, they will not punish the innocent Bivor, nor do they want to implicate Avarez.
A while ago, the Klitchenko brothers in Ukraine, especially the younger Klitschenko (64-5, 53KO) repeatedly called for a ban on the Avarez vs. Bivor War, because Biwall is from Russia, their president Putin is sending troops to Ukraine, and the world wants to unite to sanction everything in Russia, including of course sports.
In response, WBA Chairman Mendoza Jr. said: "If Avarez and Biver can't fight because of this, it's really unfair." Vivor does not support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and as the WBA World Boxing Champion, he has been a role model figure for many years, both in and out of the ring. And Avarez decided to upgrade to 175 pounds before the Outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian War to challenge Bivor, and if they were not allowed to compete for the WBA title, their efforts would be in vain. ”
Avarez reportedly had a base deposit of more than $40 million for this game, along with a DAZN-PPV share. This is also the first time that DAZN has engaged in a PPV payment model, in the United States and Canada, the annual fee user is 60 US dollars per household, and the non-annual fee user is 80 US dollars.
