Athletistic/Boxing. The Swedish Boxing Association will boycott competitions to which Russian athletes will be admitted. Finland supported Sweden in this decision. Boxers from this country will also not compete with Russians. The Swedes also announced that Spain and other Western European countries would join the boycott.

Valuev: “The decision of the IBA will not affect the international federations, where the management looks in the mouth of the Russophobic politicians”

“This is totally unacceptable. One group of people stands for democracy, the other doesn’t care about democracy and goes its own way. We cannot enter competitions where Russian and Belarusian boxers will be admitted. And, as far as I know, Spain won’t be there either, and most of Western Europe is against it,” Sheholm SVT quotes.

“They set a precedent!” Kostya Tszyu – about the IBA’s decision to cancel the suspension of Russian boxers
