The election took place at the FBU conference in Zhytomyr
Former world welterweight champion Andrey Kotelnik became vice-president of the Boxing Federation of Ukraine (FBU).
The election of Kotelnik took place at the FBU conference in Zhytomyr. At the same time, in June, the FBU Control and Disciplinary Committee banned 26 people, including Kotelnik, from carrying out any activity related to boxing for life.
Recall that on February 22, an extraordinary reporting and election conference of the FBU was held at the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine. Representatives of 17 regional federations elected Kirill Shevchenko as the new president of the FBU.
On June 20, the Boxing Federation of Ukraine sent an open letter to the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine and the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, in which it announced the raider seizure of the organization.
In turn, the International Boxing Association (IBA) and the European Boxing Confederation recognized Volodymyr Prodivus as the legitimate president of the Boxing Federation of Ukraine.
In May, Prodivus joined the IBA Board of Directors. Russian Umar Kremlev was re-elected as the President of the International Boxing Association, however, due to a number of violations, new elections of the head of the organization will be held.
