The International Boxing Federation (IBA) has decided to return boxers from Russia and Belarus to competitions organized under its auspices, which will certainly exacerbate the crisis with the IOC. Vladimir Klichko commented on this step as follows:
“Can you knock yourself out? It turns out you can, as the IBA solution shows. This is the best example of how to make a fool of yourself in front of the whole world and trample on universal human values. Boxing deserves more. What a shame,” Wladimir Klitschko tweeted.
Can you knock yourself out? Yes! @IBA_Boxing is an example and makes a fool of itself in front of the whole world by trampling on humanistic and universal values. Boxing deserves much better. What a shame.
