The Ukrainian national team will not compete at the women's and men's world boxing championships in 2023 due to the fact that Russian and Belarusian athletes were allowed there under national flags. Oleg Ilchenko, Vice President of the Boxing Federation of Ukraine, said this in an interview with Suspilna Sport.. " Thus, Ukraine has joined nine countries that have already announced their decision to boycott the 2023 World Boxing Championships.. These are the USA, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Canada. Also, the vice-president of the Boxing Federation of Ukraine said that our team would boycott the 2024 Olympics if boxers from Russia or Belarus compete there.. The men's world boxing championship will be held from May 1 to 14 in Uzbekistan, and the women's - in India from March 15 to 31. Recall that in October last year, the International Boxing Federation (IBA), headed by the scandalous Russian Umar Kremlev, admitted athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus to international tournaments under national flags. In addition to boxers, officials of the aggressor countries, including judges, also returned to the competition..
