Yes, our delegation did not agree with the conclusions of the judges. After the duel of Zakhareev, the entire Ukrainian team even entered the ring, where they stayed until four in the morning. Everything to make Ukraine heard.

We have been heard. A special commission was created, which reviewed the duel with the participation of Yuri several times and recognized his victory. According to my information, the judges who conducted this fight were banned from boxing for life.

" I think if it were possible to protest the result of Zakhareev's fight, then Yuri would be in the final"

I know Vladimir Prodivus is looking to bring protests back to Olympic boxing..

I believe that there will be no more such cases when judges brazenly “kill” boxers in Olympic boxing,” Pozdnyakov said..
