Chairman of the Coaching Council of the Russian Boxing Federation Eduard Kravtsov In a conversation with , he called the US Boxing Federation’s decision to allow transgender people to participate in women’s tournaments absurd and expressed confidence that the International Boxing Association (IBA) would not allow this during his competitions.
The Daily Mail, citing the American Federation, reports that the corresponding amendment will be in force from 2024. To be able to compete, the participant in this case must declare a new gender identity, undergo sex reassignment surgery and submit a hormonal test once a trimester (testosterone level should not exceed 5 nmol/l). This transition will only be possible for athletes over 18 years old.
“It’s completely absurd, I don’t understand at all where we are going, where the Western world is taking us.” A man cannot compete with a woman. The IBA will not allow this to happen, at least not with the current management team. There are sensible people there and they understand everything perfectly. This is the American federation, its decisions, the IBA will not allow this at the international level,” Kravtsov told .
