At an extraordinary conference Boxing Federation of Ukrainewhich took place in Zhitomir, its new president was elected on a full-fledged basis Oleg Ilchenko. His candidacy received unanimous support.
In addition, at the conference it was decided to abolish the powers of the former head of the Federation, Vladimir Prodivus. The latter announced in May his intentions to return to this position in accordance with a court decision.
Ilchenko served as acting head of the Ukrainian Boxing Federation after Kirill Shevchenko left this position.
Let us remind you that Shevchenko was elected president of the FBU in February 2022 at an extraordinary reporting and election conference. The functionary was supported by representatives of 17 regional federations. The previous head of the FBU, Vladimir Prodivus, opposed this decision. The functionary filed a lawsuit and succeeded in overturning the decision of the state registrar to include Shevchenko in the register as head of the federation.
Subsequently, Prodivus announced his resignation as head of the FBU. In August 2023, Shevchenko was reinstated as President of the Federation.
