WBO decided to lift sanctions against Russian boxers

Following the WBA and IBF, the World Boxing Organization (WBO) has lifted sanctions against Russian boxers. This is reported by a number of sources, citing the press service of the organization.

"Russian boxers have been returned to the ratings, the restrictions have been lifted," said an official of the organization.

It is worth noting that after the outbreak of a full-scale war between Ukraine and Russia, the WBO decided not to recognize or sanction tournaments that took place on the territory of the aggressor country.

We shall remind you that the WBC remained true to its position and did not return Russian boxers to its rankings.
