“All boxers from Russia and Belarus will be excluded from the rating.
The WBC will not sanction fights in these countries,” Suleiman said at the WBC Congress.
At the moment, there are several Russian boxers in the WBC ratings.
In particular, Artur Beterbiev owns the WBC light heavyweight belt.
Beterbiev's track record includes 18 wins (all by knockout) and not a single defeat.
Earlier, Beterbiev spoke about a possible fight with WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
