His Ethnicity and Nationality Explored"},"content":{"rendered":"

Dmitry Bivol, whose full name is Dmitry Yuryevich Bivol, is a professional Russian boxer of mixed ethnicity (Russian-Korean). He is of the East Slavic ethnic group (Russian) from his father’s side and Asian-Korean from his mother’s side.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result, many people refer to Bivol as a Russian-Korean boxer, and this is an ethnic mix that is becoming increasingly popular in the former Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). The pro-boxer first came to the spotlight when he out-boxed Mexican Saul \u201cCanelo\u201d Alvarez, the former number 1 pound-for-pound master, in May 2022.<\/p>\n

He has also increasingly been in the spotlight (with questions being asked about his ethnicity and nationality) in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Here’s more about Dmitry.<\/p>\n

Dmitry Bivol is of Mixed Russian and Korean Ethnicity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dmitry Bivo\u2019s ethnicity mix is unique in every sense of the word. He is widely reported to be of Russian-Asian ethnicity. His father was born in Moldova when it was still part of the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic, while his mother is of Asian Korean descent but was born in Kazakhstan, a Central Asian country that was also formerly part of the Soviet Republic. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, Dmitry’s father, who grew up speaking Romania as his mother tongue, is widely considered either an ethnic Moldovan or of Russian ethnicity. Moldova as a country has about 11 ethnic groups some of which include the native Moldovans, Gagauz people, Lipovans, Romanians, Bessarabian Bulgarians, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, his mother, Yelena Bivol, is Korean by ethnicity. The Koreans are considered a Northeast Asian group alongside the Japanese and Tungusic speakers and an ethnic minority in central Asian countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
