On Wednesday, the board of directors of the International Boxing Association (IBA) voted to admit boxers from Russia and Belarus to competitions under the organization’s auspices with the decision taking immediate effect. The boxers will perform under the national flag and with the national anthem. On Thursday, it was learned that the boxing federations of Sweden and Finland were boycotting competitions in which athletes from Russia and Belarus would participate.
“I’m very happy with this decision. IBA – well done, it’s a great job by Umar Nazarovich (Kremlev) and the whole team. It’s an opportunity for other federations to reflect. We have to work and negotiate. Boycotts of the Finns and the Swedes? Yes please. Good riddance, let them sit at home. It’s their decision and their choice. And the choice is political. We follow the motto that the “Sport is out of politics. And the Swedes and Finns just showed their position. As if we would be offended and refuse to talk,” Aloyan told .
