IMO what the WBA are doing makes no sense - as usual.

They should either sanction all fights involving Russian fighters or shouldn't sanction any fight involving Russian fighters.

Many Russian fighters living in Russia may not agree with the war, not just Bivol, and so why punish those fighters but not Bivol?

The WBA's decision only makes sense when you consider who Bivol is fighting and that they are likely to make a substantial amount from the fight.

The sanctioning bodies can ignore many things (PED use etc.) as long as it means the money keeps rolling in.
