The Russian Boxing Federation has disqualified Azerbaijani mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Javid Rzayev for life after he spoke out against Russian Artur Kulinsky.
At the Moscow tournament, which took place on June 22, Rzaev defeated Russian Sergei Prikhodko. After that, he started an argument with Kulinskiy, who was in the hall, calling him a “Russian pig.”
— Hardcore FC League has admitted its guilt and accepted responsibility for its actions. At present, the league is providing full and comprehensive assistance in establishing the circumstances, and has also complied with all requirements and instructions of the Russian Boxing Federation as soon as possible. The League has developed and taken a set of measures aimed at strengthening the prohibition of discrimination in the field of physical education and sports, ensuring the safety of life and health of participants and spectators of physical education and sports events. In addition, a number of preventive measures have been taken to prevent extremist activities. These measures should prevent the repetition of similar incidents in the future.
One of the key tasks of the Russian Boxing Federation is to protect the rights and interests of athletes, who should not suffer from dishonest actions of individuals and other subjects of boxing sports. In this regard, the Russian Boxing Federation considers it possible to renew the license of the promoter Hardcore FC. The Hardcore FC League is aware that in case of repeated violation of the current legislation of the Russian Federation or the regulations of the Russian Boxing Federation, the license will be terminated without the right to restore.
Please note that fighter Javid Rzaev is banned for life from participating in sports and other events held under the auspices of the Russian Boxing Federation,” the federation said in a statement.
