    Next Up for Top Rank Boxing, WBC/WBO/IBF light heavyweight king Artur Beterbiev now has a date to defend his crown.

      @@Viewer2228 WBA allowed Bivol to fight. This fight was sanctioned by the NABF which like the WBC and other sanctioning bodies doesn't allow Russian fighters in their rankings while the war is ongoing. Same reason why the Bivol-Beterbiev negotiations fell through, Beterbiev has a Canadian passport but Bivol is strictly Russian lol
