Did these sanctioning bodies treat American fighters like this when George Bush illegally invaded Iraq? Double standards. Athletes are not their governments.
He beat a small man who is the undisputed champ at a weight he is also small at. The fact that a 5’8 man can even compete in this age as a Super middleweight and go to light heavy and give champs there a run for their money, Canelo fought Bivol with a hurt wrist, basically Bivol fought a 1 arm smaller man. Why not give Canelo the rematch at 175 run it back.

Damn Rahim always brings it with the questions! Def one of the best interviewers. The champ is great. Cant wait to watch him in the ring again and be in a trance with his movement and sharp combos.
He should fight other fighters and not focus on "Canela". Beterbiev would be a great match up and is what the division needs. Both of them have the titles. Or fight Yarde in a tune up fight if none of those fights can be made.
Bivol right!!! The belts would legitimize his greatness!! If he smart he will push for the Canelo fight 1st!! I see him outboxing Canelo, Betterbiev is on a different level!! I dont see Bivol walking thru or outboxing Betterbiev, I believe Betterbiev is boxings next enigma!! And until someone proves me wrong, Betterbiev is in my real top 5 pound for pound
Watching Bivol beat Alvarez like a red headed stepchild was so entertaining just as I knew and predicted it would be. Respect and best wishes to Team Bivol.
Bro he beat Canelo, arguably the best mexican boxer of all time and Ramirez who was unbeaten with record of 40-0. I think he is doing pretty good in terms of challenging himself. he want belts. What's the point beating Canelo again at the exact same fight he fought and beat him clean. I think he said it right, it's beterbiev at 175 or canelo at 168.
@@lancerose3248 I agree, but I mean in terms of unifying and or moving up in weight. I honestly think if he moves down he won’t be as effective. Def Beterbiev!
He’s literally been trying to make the Beterbiev fight and the Canelo fight at 168. He’s literally trying to challenge himself but Canelo doesn’t want to risk belts and the WBC is fucking over Bivol. What else can you expect from the man?
It's very unfair to punish athletes based upon governments political decision-making. This guy has nothing to do with those decisions.I think it gives him an extra drive.
WBC is bias for this one, this man doesn’t control over the place of his origin/birth and he’s not the one currently causing the war taking place. Does the WBC just wanna simply ruin the sport
This dude is by far my favourite fighter! Remind me of a throwback fighter, and he's so fucking humble!! There's no doubting he's in the discussion for pound-for-pound
Come on Raheem you cant be afraid to give your opinions bro lol. When they asked you about the canelo thing you know you wanted to agree 😂 yeah canelo is making excuses and ducking. The walls are closing in on canelo and I hope Bivol gets everything he deserves
The walls are not closing in on canelo lol. If bivol don’t want the fight at 175 then guess what canelo has plenty of options. The walls are closing in on bivol after he ducked beterbiev for greed and now canelo exercising his options after bivol trying to a-side the a-side lol. Bivol has no leverage.
@@coolque-lostboysent.5172 I don’t even know how they can defend Canelo anymore.

I used to be a Canelo fan but things have gotten ridiculous.
Don't be silly. Artur just has a passport but he's Russian, he was born there and lived most of his life there, most of his own fam is still there, he goes back to Russia nearly every other month, and while there - he's taking photo ops with Russian generals like Khadyrov.

@@vt6653 I hear what you’re saying from a feeling perspective but as far as facts go Arthur is a Canadian citizen AND he is not a Russian citizen - it’s not even like he has dual citizenship or anything.
@@issa.israel he's a dual citizen and so is bivol, bivol is a citizen of kyrgzstan that's where he was born and he's ethnically muldovan/korean haha so you could easily make the same argument for both these guys not being russian
Bivol stop talking and make the Beterviev fight, that's it, forget it, your not the fighter you think you are. Make the fight in Russia because nobody here cares if you fight or not.
Good. If im bivol, I'm not giving him another shot unless he puts something on the table. 115-113 was a joke on their first fight. Imagine if Canelo won a few more rounds? Bivol would have lost it thanks to judges. They know Canelo is the ppv poster boy and want to hand him everything.
You’ll be the worst manager in history with that advice lol. You can’t a-side the a-side. Canelo will always have options and for more money. bivol doesn’t have many options and he already rejected the beterbiev fight. If bivol decides to dictate terms then he will be left on the sidelines which seems to be what is happening
@@eliseoacosta5682I disagree. A manger has to care about what your fighter wants.Not just money. Bivol says he wants legacy. The fight against Bieterbiev will happen. They can't avoid each other. Now Canelo is a big paycheck, true that but you know what's worse. Bivol accepts a second fight against Canelo, losses thanks to some fraud judges and becomes the laughing stock for being the idiot that gave Canelo 2 fights for his title and Canelo put nothing on the table to risk. That will be embarrassing and no amount of money can help thst damaged legacy. Bivol shouldn't risk it. Also Canelo doesn't have much options. Why? Benevidez is waiting for his shot at 168.
Bro. Sometimes in life dealing with foreign guys especially interviewing. We just have to use small words so they can really understand and express themselves better. Thats just coming from me as a foreign person myself in my opinion. 😅
Bivol wants more than what canelo and his team have been offering him.. Bivol getting paid 2million is chump change he was known before he even beat canelo to be a better fighter than billy joe, plant and smith and they got paid way more.. Now that bivol has actually beaten canelo why would he accept the same terms?
Bivol is a cool dude.. I mean, this is obvious by the way he talks (don't disrespect no one) and the body language shows how comfortable he is, meaning that's the real Bivol .. Cool dude
Bivol DESERVES the same title opportunity he gave Canelo, end of!!! Canelo is not confident he could beat Bivol thats why he doesn't want to risk losing his belts at 168, everyone knows this, its pretty obvious! Honestly if i were Bivol i would move to cruiserweight and fight Badu Jack to throw a spoke in the wheel of Canelos plans! CHECKMATE!!😂😂
@@imagnotv Canelo made an offer to Bivol for Bivols belt, that's a fact. If Bivol was crying for the Canelo fight for money, that would be different, but he wasnt
I think Canelo has very little confidence fighting Bivol again what's why he doesn't want to risk losing at 167lbs because if he losses again at 175lbs then he will have a ready made excuse that it was not his weight division.
Bivol hasn't fought in 2023 yet he's out here sitting on a couch talking about rejecting the fight that brings him the most money along with the chance to add to his resume. It's wild that Bivol refuses to fight at 175 when he's only ever fought at 175 lol. And his team mention Beterbiev but they already pulled out of talks with Beterbiev a few months ago saying there wasn't enough money to go around then turned around and rejected a huge money fight against Canelo. Funnily enough, they were legit trying to fight Munguia after dismissing the Beterbiev fight but he claims he's all about fighting for belts lol? Bivol is straight up wasting his career momentum. He was the 2023 fight of the year but will likely end up going a full year of inactivity with big fights he turned down.
I'm glad he's speaking up bc if he didn't Canelo's marketing team would spin the narrative. Canelo wants the same everything but when you lose, you also lose the power to make demands. So Canelo must abide by the champion's rule set.
@@BONAF1DE1 Actually it does which is why the fight hasn't happened. Queen Canela is ducking the smoke. If he doesn't want to fight Bivol at 168 then he can't have the same rules as before at 175 ESPECIALLY since it wasn't in the FIRST CONTRACT. If there was a rematch clause w/ same rules then the fight would be happening but bc Canelo didn't want a rematch in the contract it's hard to make w/ his demands bc he lost.
@@rehtuluv no really it doesn’t work like that lol if they said bivol a contract with the same terms as the first fight bivol will sign. They are begging for that fight regardless of what they say in interviews lol
@@BONAF1DE1 except Bivol said that the only chance of him fighting Canelo at 175 is if he has absolutely zero other choices. He’d rather give a top 10 guy in his division a voluntary shot than give Canelo one. Canelo doesn’t deserve another shot at his title, certainly not for the same terms he got it last time. That offer is the type you make hoping the other guy says no.
Canelo was fighting super super bums with no heart and punching power in 168 and he thought he s the best fighter in history 😂😂 Bivol exposed him as a mediocre fighter with too many flaws and Benavidez will stop him but Canelo is too coward to accept the fight

@@Est93 The only thing there is to price himself out of. A rematch. Listen, they have offered Canelo career high paydays 50 MILLION each to fight Charlo and Benavidez. NOW he won't rematch Bivol unless he gets his way which (when you lose) you have no power to make demands against the champion you lost to.
@@runninreb9142 his p4p value is gone fella. Canelo can't be asking for that 50 to 30 million for a fight. He should've fought Charlo and Benavidez then pursue the belt collection. Canelo still had 4 guys to contend with before all the nonsense started after the rematch with GGG.
And that’s why Tank won’t be face of boxing until he fights for the belts. He’s just thinking money rn like Floyd, if he wants to make the big money he’s going to have to fight Haney or Shakur real soon
The thing is If canelo beats him at 168 lbs there's nothing to gain for canelo a lot of people not going to give him credit and he gets no belt in a new division, no history made.
All four organizations are the same. Corrupted. But y'all should be happy. It definitely is preventing guys like Charlo from having their shot. And good guys like Spence have to work hard while Crawford, Thurman, Canelo, Fury, and Taylor get to sit on the titles.
Great, great interview by Radio Rahim with tact, analysis, and probing. He actually got Bivol to reveal his thought processes.

Damn!! Radio Rahim has to be one of the best boxing reporters in the game. Great respectful and insightful interview. 👍 🥊
It's a crime that Bivol can't fight for Canela or Beterbiev belts because he is Russian
Top fella … Need more fighters with this mentality.
He should fight other fighters and not focus on "Canela". Beterbiev would be a great match up and is what the division needs. Both of them have the titles. Or fight Yarde in a tune up fight if none of those fights can be made.
Dmitry beat cinnamon and cinnamon knows that and now he's ducking him😅
I feel like the beterbiev fight is one step closer just because of this interview...my boy Radio Rahim is on point
Bivol right!!! The belts would legitimize his greatness!! If he smart he will push for the Canelo fight 1st!! I see him outboxing Canelo, Betterbiev is on a different level!! I dont see Bivol walking thru or outboxing Betterbiev, I believe Betterbiev is boxings next enigma!! And until someone proves me wrong, Betterbiev is in my real top 5 pound for pound
The only thing with beterbiev is his age but mant his dude is different .
Bivol God bless you
Watching Bivol beat Alvarez like a red headed stepchild was so entertaining just as I knew and predicted it would be. Respect and best wishes to Team Bivol.
Bivol has to make his way by challenging himself; instead of expecting others to come to him, he needs to go after bigger fights.
Bro he beat Canelo, arguably the best mexican boxer of all time and Ramirez who was unbeaten with record of 40-0. I think he is doing pretty good in terms of challenging himself. he want belts. What's the point beating Canelo again at the exact same fight he fought and beat him clean. I think he said it right, it's beterbiev at 175 or canelo at 168.
@@lancerose3248 I agree, but I mean in terms of unifying and or moving up in weight. I honestly think if he moves down he won’t be as effective. Def Beterbiev!
He’s literally been trying to make the Beterbiev fight and the Canelo fight at 168.
He’s literally trying to challenge himself but Canelo doesn’t want to risk belts and the WBC is fucking over Bivol.
What else can you expect from the man?
Love Bivol. A very good face for the sport. Very humble man without all the horse crap propaganda. Hurry up and make the fight with Artur Beterbiev...
What a great fighter and bloke Dimitry is, best of luck to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's very unfair to punish athletes based upon governments political decision-making. This guy has nothing to do with those decisions.I think it gives him an extra drive.
WBC is bias for this one, this man doesn’t control over the place of his origin/birth and he’s not the one currently causing the war taking place. Does the WBC just wanna simply ruin the sport
This dude is by far my favourite fighter! Remind me of a throwback fighter, and he's so fucking humble!! There's no doubting he's in the discussion for pound-for-pound
Come on Raheem you cant be afraid to give your opinions bro lol. When they asked you about the canelo thing you know you wanted to agree 😂 yeah canelo is making excuses and ducking. The walls are closing in on canelo and I hope Bivol gets everything he deserves
The walls are not closing in on canelo lol. If bivol don’t want the fight at 175 then guess what canelo has plenty of options. The walls are closing in on bivol after he ducked beterbiev for greed and now canelo exercising his options after bivol trying to a-side the a-side lol. Bivol has no leverage.
@@eliseoacosta5682 you clearly didn't even watch the interview bro you sound clueless...watch the interview atleast before you reply
@@coolque-lostboysent.5172 Canelo fans my dude. They the worst.
@@homersimpson4379 lmao yeah they really are the worst smh very dullusional
@@coolque-lostboysent.5172 I don’t even know how they can defend Canelo anymore. Has several catch weight fights and clauses, won’t fight Benavidez or Bivol at 168, tries to get a catchweight of under 20 pounds for Badou Jack for the CW title.
I used to be a Canelo fan but things have gotten ridiculous.
Bivol is a great fighter, undisputed soon
Beterbiev is a Canadian citizen tho - not really a sensible question.
Don't be silly. Artur just has a passport but he's Russian, he was born there and lived most of his life there, most of his own fam is still there, he goes back to Russia nearly every other month, and while there - he's taking photo ops with Russian generals like Khadyrov. The hypocrisy of WBC is insane, blocking one russian from fighting while letting another one fight
@@vt6653 I hear what you’re saying from a feeling perspective but as far as facts go Arthur is a Canadian citizen AND he is not a Russian citizen - it’s not even like he has dual citizenship or anything.
@@issa.israel he's a dual citizen and so is bivol, bivol is a citizen of kyrgzstan that's where he was born and he's ethnically muldovan/korean haha so you could easily make the same argument for both these guys not being russian
@@DRS659i think you’re wrong dude Bivol only has Russian citizenship I think but it doesn’t matter. F politics, they need to fight
@@sansanychmurashko yeah ok cool
Good interview
anyone know what watch is Bivol wearing? looks like a blue ceramic ap chronograph
Hublot integral * found it
Canelo will never fight to Bivol again, he knows he will loose, 168 or 175
Canelo scared to fight bivol in 168 😂
If he beats him then clowns like you would say he was dehydrated 🤡🤡
Canelo is f***ed.... 160 is Janibek, 168 Benavidez and Morrell and 175 Beterbiev and Bivol....
So hes scared to fight him at 168? But he wants to fight him at 175? How the fook does that make sense??
@@publicenemynumber1861 Afraid to losing his belts.
@@kilidizi well I agree on that but hes the money maker so it's by his terms not bivols
Stopping this man from being great. He would smoke Beterbiev Callum Smith Anthony Yarde and Canelo again
If you not fighting canelo then fight betervil , if you win that fight then you my friend will be the one the best in this era or the best
CANELA HIS KNEW NAME.. UNTIL he fights a TOP FIGHTER.
Bivol stop talking and make the Beterviev fight, that's it, forget it, your not the fighter you think you are. Make the fight in Russia because nobody here cares if you fight or not.
Speak for yourself 🤡
God bless bivol ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Good. If im bivol, I'm not giving him another shot unless he puts something on the table. 115-113 was a joke on their first fight. Imagine if Canelo won a few more rounds? Bivol would have lost it thanks to judges. They know Canelo is the ppv poster boy and want to hand him everything.
You’ll be the worst manager in history with that advice lol. You can’t a-side the a-side. Canelo will always have options and for more money. bivol doesn’t have many options and he already rejected the beterbiev fight. If bivol decides to dictate terms then he will be left on the sidelines which seems to be what is happening
@@eliseoacosta5682I disagree. A manger has to care about what your fighter wants.Not just money. Bivol says he wants legacy. The fight against Bieterbiev will happen. They can't avoid each other. Now Canelo is a big paycheck, true that but you know what's worse. Bivol accepts a second fight against Canelo, losses thanks to some fraud judges and becomes the laughing stock for being the idiot that gave Canelo 2 fights for his title and Canelo put nothing on the table to risk. That will be embarrassing and no amount of money can help thst damaged legacy. Bivol shouldn't risk it.
Also Canelo doesn't have much options. Why? Benevidez is waiting for his shot at 168.
Bivol is one of my favorite fighters ! He should get all the fights he wants it’s definitely not fair
Best boxing interview I’ve seen these days. Radio Rahim the best
Bro. Sometimes in life dealing with foreign guys especially interviewing. We just have to use small words so they can really understand and express themselves better. Thats just coming from me as a foreign person myself in my opinion. 😅
i agree
This man reps the Eurasian nation.
Money talks and whoever brings the money has the advantage. Period fans pays the bills
I agree 100% canelo's a big payday
Bivol wants more than what canelo and his team have been offering him.. Bivol getting paid 2million is chump change he was known before he even beat canelo to be a better fighter than billy joe, plant and smith and they got paid way more.. Now that bivol has actually beaten canelo why would he accept the same terms?
then the rematch will not happen
Bival top man respect bro
Bivol 👍🏽✊🏽🙏🏾🥊‼️
Bivol is a cool dude.. I mean, this is obvious by the way he talks (don't disrespect no one) and the body language shows how comfortable he is, meaning that's the real Bivol .. Cool dude
I rate this slightly angrier Bivol🔥
That's crazy, 2 fighters agreeing to fight and the red tape makes it take years. A real shame it's become so heavily dollar driven
Bivol DESERVES the same title opportunity he gave Canelo, end of!!! Canelo is not confident he could beat Bivol thats why he doesn't want to risk losing his belts at 168, everyone knows this, its pretty obvious!
Honestly if i were Bivol i would move to cruiserweight and fight Badu Jack to throw a spoke in the wheel of Canelos plans! CHECKMATE!!😂😂
Seriously. PLEASE fight ANYONE! Your the best boxer out there in all aspects of the sport!
Just to think, people hated on Canelo, but canelo changed bivols life.
Bivol changed his own life
@@colezee7640 not without canelo giving him a shot
@@imagnotv Canelo made an offer to Bivol for Bivols belt, that's a fact. If Bivol was crying for the Canelo fight for money, that would be different, but he wasnt
“CANELA” 😂
Bivol is very great champ i realy like him alot stright facts
crazy how this wholesome dude is also one of the most dangerous boxers today lol
Bivols team really holds the cards, Canelo wants his run back
The guy that sells holds the cards.
Canelo has options. Bivol has canelo that’s all or a Joe Schmo for less money.
@@eliseoacosta5682 false canelo want teh rematch more then bivol do so if he want the fight give good therms .
This guy and his team seem to be wanting to secure a Canelo 3rd fight. Canelo will not have it.
5:26 real guy
I think Canelo has very little confidence fighting Bivol again what's why he doesn't want to risk losing at 167lbs because if he losses again at 175lbs then he will have a ready made excuse that it was not his weight division.
WBC got any problems with sanctioning fights in saudi arabia after they flew planes into the world trade?
It was the Israel (mossad)
Both people are great, here and generally they are.
Bivol and Benavides will be a legendary fight, they don't need Canelo
Top G
He ain't lying!
Bivol hasn't fought in 2023 yet he's out here sitting on a couch talking about rejecting the fight that brings him the most money along with the chance to add to his resume. It's wild that Bivol refuses to fight at 175 when he's only ever fought at 175 lol. And his team mention Beterbiev but they already pulled out of talks with Beterbiev a few months ago saying there wasn't enough money to go around then turned around and rejected a huge money fight against Canelo. Funnily enough, they were legit trying to fight Munguia after dismissing the Beterbiev fight but he claims he's all about fighting for belts lol? Bivol is straight up wasting his career momentum. He was the 2023 fight of the year but will likely end up going a full year of inactivity with big fights he turned down.
Bivol vs Beterbiev would be a banger
I'm glad he's speaking up bc if he didn't Canelo's marketing team would spin the narrative. Canelo wants the same everything but when you lose, you also lose the power to make demands. So Canelo must abide by the champion's rule set.
It doesn’t work like that lol
@@BONAF1DE1 Actually it does which is why the fight hasn't happened. Queen Canela is ducking the smoke. If he doesn't want to fight Bivol at 168 then he can't have the same rules as before at 175 ESPECIALLY since it wasn't in the FIRST CONTRACT. If there was a rematch clause w/ same rules then the fight would be happening but bc Canelo didn't want a rematch in the contract it's hard to make w/ his demands bc he lost.
@@rehtuluv no really it doesn’t work like that lol if they said bivol a contract with the same terms as the first fight bivol will sign. They are begging for that fight regardless of what they say in interviews lol
@@BONAF1DE1 except Bivol said that the only chance of him fighting Canelo at 175 is if he has absolutely zero other choices. He’d rather give a top 10 guy in his division a voluntary shot than give Canelo one. Canelo doesn’t deserve another shot at his title, certainly not for the same terms he got it last time. That offer is the type you make hoping the other guy says no.
@@souldry Thank you.
He wants the smoke at 175 and 168. At 168 he’s not beating canelo but I believe he can beat him again at 175, not as easily but he can do it.
Canelo was fighting super super bums with no heart and punching power in 168 and he thought he s the best fighter in history 😂😂 Bivol exposed him as a mediocre fighter with too many flaws and Benavidez will stop him but Canelo is too coward to accept the fight
Medioce doesn’t land you undisputed and a hof career. Y’all blinded by hate
@@filileon6183 Undispiuted by beating who ????!!!! Smith Yildrim Saunders and Plant !!! nobody will remember these bums therefore nobody will care about Canelo beating these bums 😉😉😉😉
This is probably the dumbest shit I’ve read in awhile
Canelo is a woozy. No real Mexican.
@@rezajamshidi8674 you just said Callum smith has no punching power when he came to 175 and brutally stopped people who Bivol himself couldn’t even stop. He was at 168 literally being a body snatcher lol. You have no boxing knowledge at all.
Fit AF
It's not just Canelo they're all in it together. Takes more than 2 to tango
Canelo is pricing himself out. Isn't that obvious?
@@rehtuluv pricing himself out of what
@@Est93 The only thing there is to price himself out of. A rematch. Listen, they have offered Canelo career high paydays 50 MILLION each to fight Charlo and Benavidez. NOW he won't rematch Bivol unless he gets his way which (when you lose) you have no power to make demands against the champion you lost to.
@@rehtuluv How can the one that generates the money price himself out?
@@runninreb9142 his p4p value is gone fella. Canelo can't be asking for that 50 to 30 million for a fight. He should've fought Charlo and Benavidez then pursue the belt collection. Canelo still had 4 guys to contend with before all the nonsense started after the rematch with GGG.
Hey Canela, Bivol whooped you pretty good therefore he is now in control and CAN put the conditions for the rematch!
I for one would rather see Bivol against Beterbiev than watch him easily beat Canelo a second time.
And that’s why Tank won’t be face of boxing until he fights for the belts. He’s just thinking money rn like Floyd, if he wants to make the big money he’s going to have to fight Haney or Shakur real soon
Reminds me a lot of Khabib - doesn’t care about the bullshit, just wants the belts and to cement his legacy
The thing is If canelo beats him at 168 lbs there's nothing to gain for canelo a lot of people not going to give him credit and he gets no belt in a new division, no history made.
@9:20 You can see Bivol don't want the smoke from Artur...Otherwise, his answer would of been different.
Sulaiman is really bad for boxing. He lives off his father's name.
All four organizations are the same. Corrupted. But y'all should be happy. It definitely is preventing guys like Charlo from having their shot. And good guys like Spence have to work hard while Crawford, Thurman, Canelo, Fury, and Taylor get to sit on the titles.
Canela needs to stop being a big 😺
How is trying to fight a guy bigger than him in his natural weight where he lost and is trying to get it back being a pussy ? Lol😂
WBC really are trying their hardest to put people off boxing huh
Bivol is on another level. He’s like Crawford
the WBC is the most biased and fraudulent boxing organization
I feel for this guy trying to achieve great things and all because of one idiot ruining it for him
