Undefeated Ukrainian boxer Vladislav Sirenko believes that the athletes of the aggressor countries who support the war in Ukraine or are silent do not have the right to participate in any competitions.

He stated this in an interview with OBOZREVATEL.

" Because they are not from this league and not even from this world, they have completely different values \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200band they have no place in a normal society. This is my personal opinion,"

He said that he was outraged by the admission of some Russians to competitions in professional boxing. At the same time, he understands why Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev can enter the ring.

" After all, profibox is more of a commercial story.. When a lot of money is at stake, not many people are interested in any other points, in particular political ones.. This is not an excuse, but my reflection on why. As for the Bivol situation, I think that a lot of contracts for his fight with Saul Alvarez were signed long before everything started in Ukraine, and it was incredibly difficult to turn the whole story back,.

And thanks to this, he is allowed to participate in international competitions,"

Sirenko added that from the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he tried to reach out to his acquaintances in Russia, but over time he realized that there was no point in this..

" Everything. I already feel a certain disgust for these people who support violence in some way.. Trying to get through to them makes no sense. What can be explained to people who physically cannot understand anything. It's probably some kind of underdevelopment,"

Recall that Sirenko spoke with Russian boxer Alexander Povetkin after the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine.
