The functionary considers himself the only legitimate head of the FBU
The president Boxing Federation of Ukraine Kirill Shevchenko commented on the decision International Boxing Federation (IBA) appoint Vladimir Prodivus national team coordinator.
“In all sports, Russia and Belarus are not allowed to participate in international competitions and fight with their sports functionaries. We see that only in the IBA this does not happen. Moreover, they support Volodymyr Prodivus, who defends not the interests of Ukraine, but Putin, who works with the man.”
“The fact remains that the only legitimate FBU President recognized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine and the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine is Kirill Shevchenko. All of the above organizations, at the request of the IBA, have already given official confirmation twice.
We will still go to competitions and develop Ukrainian boxing.”
Earlier, the IBA suspended the activities of the Boxing Federation of Ukraine. The association considered that the state bodies of Ukraine are interfering in the work of a sports organization.
Recall, 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 May, Prodivus joined the IBA Board of Directors. Russian Umar Kremlev was re-elected President of the International Boxing Association, but due to a number of violations, new elections of the head of the organization will be held. The Congress will take place on 25 September.
