The President of WBC is based as Dmitriry Bivol releases the title of world champion
The news published last night that Dmitriry Bivol decided to leave his world title WBC Lithe Wall Wall.
Bivol, which still maintains the remaining three lanes in 175 pounds, was ordered to face the short-lived master David Benavidez, and the offers of the handbag were to take place earlier.
However, the 34-year-old decided to withdraw from the proceedings and slide downInstead, he will continue the trilogy with Artur Beterbiev.
President of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman thought about the situation – and he does not seem to be best pleased.
In a post made on his official X account, Sulemain described the reasons given by Bivola for releasing the title as “entertaining”.
“I just received a cool and impersonal notification of lawyer Dmitry Biovol, Patrick English, with arguments that are so entertaining that I don’t discuss WBC informing that Dmitriry Bivol decided to give up his featherlight WBC championships.
“We wish Bivol’s success and hereby confirm David Benavidez as a heavyweight master WBC World Lithe.”

This movement is not a surprise, after the supervisor of the star Eddie Hearn suggested last month that the third fight with Beterbiew will probably be next for his fee.
Hearn told boxed fans pro boxing that Turki Alalshikh was interested in a rubber match between the couple and that Bivol feels loyalty to the head of Saudi boxing.

“Reality is like this: Turki Alalshikh gave Dmitriry Bivol Four Fruch.
“Most importantly, he gave him the fight with Artur Beterbaiev for the undisputed, and then gave him a rematch four months later.
“We do everything that his Excellency wants – and I would expect it to be a trilogy.
“We want to keep all the belts. But if we have to lose one to follow his Excellency plan for Dmitry Bivol, there is no problem.”
Bivol and Beterbiev have already given fans of two competing with the fight of the year, so there will be little complaints about the fact that the couple decided the result.
As for Benavidez, WBC confirmed that he was raised from short-lived status to the full world champion.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
