The Ukrainian was also limited in the choice of song
Ukrainian boxer Maxim Prodan said that in Italy he was limited in manifestations of a pro-Ukrainian position.
According to the boxer, he was not allowed to enter the ring with the Ukrainian flag and accompanied by a classic Ukrainian song.
“It happens in the professional ring too. I wanted to enter the ring with the Ukrainian flag – you can’t. Under the song ‘Oh at the moon of red viburnum’ – also impossible. A lot of politics, they said, but we have sports. I specifically sewed a yellow-blue set for entering the ring. This is such a story, ”Maxim explained.
Prodan (19-2-1, 15 KOs) had his last fight in May, losing to Venezuelan Luis Enrique Romero by technical knockout in Milan.
Prodan is a former IBF international welterweight champion. In September, the Ukrainian lost the title to the Albanian Florian Mark.
The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine continues for the 119th day.
