“Bwille acted in fairness, abandoning the fight with Benavides in favor of a fight with Beterbiev” – Lebedev

Former WBA and IBF champion Denis Lebedev called the real man’s decision of the Russian boxer Dmitry Bivola to concentrate in a duel with his compatriot Arthur Beterbiev.

Earlier, the head of the WBC Maurisio Suleiman confirmed the Match TV that Bwil has abandoned the WBC title in a weight. Now this belt is owned by American David Benavides, who was in the status of an obligatory applicant and expected a battle with Bivol. On Tuesday, bidding was supposed to take place, but Boval and his team stated that they were prior to the battle with Beterbiev. Bwil retained the WBA, WBO and IBF champion belts.

– Bovil is a man brought up in Russia with the right values. It is completely different, differs from many foreign boxers. Of course, it would be more profitable to preserve all the belts, having won the battle with Benavides, and not think who and what will say about you. But Bwil did not chase the benefit, but acted in fairness. Since Beterbiev previously gave Bivola the possibility of revenge, the bevel in response to Arthur gives the same revenge right. Bwil arrived in a murderer, he made the right decision, the decision of the real man. If I found myself in a similar situation, I would do the same, ”said Lebedev, whose words quoted“ All -Sport ”.

Bwille on February 22 in Riyadh by the decision of the judges defeated Beterbiev and became the absolute champion of the world in half -life. In October last year, Beterbiev also turned out to be stronger than Bivola, becoming the absolute world champion.
