Comments Thread For: WBA Rejects Appeal For Bivol To Bypass Mandatory Title Defense, Must Face Ramirez Next

Joshua Buatsi and Eddie Hearn will have to settle for the fights already ordered by two separate sanctioning bodies. krikya360.com has confirmed that the WBA has rejected a request submitted by Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to grant an exemption for WBA light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol. The hope was for Bivol to bypass a mandatory title defense against Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez and instead face Buatsi, though to no avail.

How would the purse bid work though? I mean the fight is definitely gonna be on dazn and Hearn and Oscar are both with it. So they both gonna bid or Oscar just gonna let Hearn overbid?

This was the fight to make anyways Ramirez seems confident from the interviews I've seen. They have sparred in the past maybe he saw something there but I'm not counting Bivol out, Ramirez can be hit and has had some close fights in the past so hopefully it's a good one.

Told you Bivol was ducking. Ramirez has a very good chance of winning.

Good fight. Too bad for Bivol who wanted to get paid before a real challenge. He wanted to get that easy UK money.

At some point you have to sue. Warrington should be fighting Lara. And so on.
