Ukraine was not represented by any boxer in the final of the European Championship. The head of the FBU was outraged by the result of refereeing in the fights of the semi-finals of the competition.

Time to bring protests back to Olympic boxing. To return them not as the right to manipulate, but as an opportunity to find justice for those who fell victim to a judicial error that critically influenced the outcome of the battle. Yesterday the national team of Ukraine witnessed just such a case. For reasons that are incomprehensible to me and the whole team, the judges of the fight between Yuri Zakhareev and Mohammed Akbar were carried away by some unknown thing, but not by their professional duties: to be honest and impartial riders of a sporting destiny. The Boxing Federation of Ukraine and I, as its president, do not agree with this approach to refereeing. cannot behave like the leaders of someone's lives, their assessments cannot depend on mood, political or any other advantages,"

According to the functionary, this will help return justice to this sport..

" After the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the world became even more aware of the need to create additional tools that would support justice, and not drive dishonest people to continue their dark activities.. The return of protests in amateur boxing at all levels of competition is one of my priorities both as a person of Ukrainian boxing and as vice president of the International Boxing Federation,"

Recall that the Russian president of the International Boxing Association (IBA), Umar Kremlev, was at the epicenter of a new scandal by posting a map of Russia with the annexed Crimea on social networks..
