Olympic champion 2016 Russian boxer Yevgeny Tishchenko told that he had a negative attitude towards the initiative of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to revoke the recognition of the International Boxing Association (IBA), because the latter is doing a lot for the development of the sport.
The IOC Executive Board recommended at the organization’s session on Wednesday to withdraw recognition of the IBA in accordance with Rule 3.7 of the Olympic Charter, as the IBA failed to fulfill the conditions specified in the IOC’s decision. to suspend the IBA from 2021. The IOC Executive Board also recommended to the session “in the interests of athletes and sport” that boxing be maintained on the program of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in line with previous decisions . The IOC session will take place on June 22 by videoconference.
– What can I say when commenting on the reaction of the IOC. Too bad… The IBA contributes a lot to the development of boxing, they talk about boxing. Umar Nazarovich Kremlev is doing a lot to popularize this species. Yes, (at the Olympics) in Tokyo, the boxing tournament was organized by the IOC, but the judges belonged to the IBA. They won’t find any more. I think the parties have to agree. The IOC must hear the IBA. The Kremlin really does a lot for boxing,” Tishchenko told .
In May, Tashkent hosted the men’s world championship, where, by decision of the IBA, Russian boxers performed with national attributes. Previously, Russian boxers participated in the March women’s world championship in India without any restrictions. The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
