I think it will be very difficult for the IBA to win this conflict. But the fact that the fight is being waged, that the International Boxing Association is trying to defend its rights and the rights of athletes, is correct, “Tishchenko told .
In 2023, the IBA allowed Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in international competitions wearing national symbols, contrary to IOC recommendations.
