President of the International Boxing Association (IBA) Oumar Kremlev said that the International Olympic Committee (IOC ) are afraid of him, which is why they are applying sanctions to the IBA.
On Tuesday, at the 142nd IOC session in Paris, the decision was taken to exclude the IBA from the list of recognised international federations.
— Why did the IOC make such a decision? They are just afraid of me. Thomas Bach sent letters to the federations not to communicate with me. It is so stupid and funny, “the correspondent reports, reporting Kremlev’s words.
In April, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed the IBA’s appeal against the IOC Session’s decision to withdraw the organisation’s recognition. In 2019, the IOC temporarily withdrew the IBA’s recognition status for economic reasons and due to a management crisis within the organisation, and also presented demands for reforms.
Russian and Belarusian boxers, according to the decision of the International Boxing Association (IBA), participate in international competitions with national symbols.
