Former world boxing champion Konstantin Tszyu shared his opinion on the US boxing team’s refusal to participate in the women’s and men’s world championships due to the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes who do not have neutral status.
“Their problems. Will the championship become less interesting? It wouldn’t be very interesting if there were no Russians in this tournament, but here … Let them not perform if they don’t want to. I don’t even want to think about them, ”says Tszyu “Match TV”.
The US Boxing Federation explained the reason for the refusal with the decision of the International Boxing Association (IBA), headed by Russian Umar Kremlev, to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes under national flags.
The Women’s World Championship will be held in New Delhi from March 15-31. The men’s tournament will be held in Tashkent from May 1-14.
