Heavyweight legend Vladimir Klitschenko once publicly stated that the WBA light heavyweight boxer Biver should be banned from boxing competitions due to the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, and since then Bivor has remained silent, and finally Biwall made his first personal speech against Klitchenko's appeal.
Beaver will face Avariz on Sunday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for his title in a very important match for him, with Avarez to be won or lost that will have a profound impact on his career.
Born in Kyrgyzstan in 1990 and moved to St. Petersburg, Russia, Biver, whose father is Moldovan and whose mother, who also lives in the region, is a Moldovan father and a North Korean who lives there, admits to being saddened to see politics become the biggest pre-game issue of his life.
"I've been very supportive of Klitschenko's whole career, I love the way he plays, and of course I'm happy when he wins," Biwall told IFL TELEVISION. "He's an athlete and he should know that sport and politics are different. He's [a] athlete, but now he's a politician. Sadly, as an athlete, he wants to change the status quo by conflating sports with politics. ”
Since the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, some Russian athletes have been sanctioned by various governing bodies, and their football teams have been banned from participating in the World Cup.
All four boxing governing bodies since the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict have said they will not approve any russian matches until the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict is over. The WBC, IBF and WBO went a step further, insisting they would not approve any Russian boxers' title battle for the time being.
Beaver has held the WBA gold belt since 2017, and the WBA continues to allow Russian boxers to compete, but they have announced that Russian and Belarusian boxers will not be allowed to enter the ring with their flags, the national anthem will not be played, and the country of the boxers will not be mentioned.
