The former world heavyweight boxing champion was defeated by the international federation.
The former unified world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko shared his opinion that the International Boxing Federation (IBA) allowed Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in international competitions under the flags of their countries.
According to the Ukrainian figure, this was a shameful act that destroyed the organization.
“Can you knock yourself out? Yes! IBA is an example of this, he exposes himself to the ridicule of the whole world, despises humanistic and universal values. Boxing deserves better. Shameful,” wrote by Klitschko on his Twitter page.
Can you knock yourself out? Yes! @IBA_Boxing is an example and makes a fool in front of the whole world 🌎 by trampling humanistic and universal values. Boxing deserves better. It’s embarrassing.

Recall that after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russians and Belarusians were subject to sanctions, but now this decision has been canceled.
