The World Boxing Council (WBC) has voted to refuse to sanction any boxing event in Russia until the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine is resolved peacefully. The WBC is in open discussions with other sanctioning organizations and all within the boxing industry to implement similar measures.

The World Boxing Association (WBA) has scheduled a meeting next Monday to vote on the suspension of any world, international or regional title fight in Russia.

The WBO is considering not sanctioning title fights in Russia and not including Russian boxers in its rankings as long as the invasion of Ukraine continues.
