Olympian1010 7,470 Posted February 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2023 will boycott both world championships held by the IBA this year. Governance issues, along with the IBA’s decision to let BLR/RUS boxers compete with their flag and anthem, cited as mains factors for the boycott. “Sport has the power to change the world.

I’m not sure how many of those events are overseen by the IBA still, but boycotts could leave Olympic qualification a mess (assuming the sport is still on the program at the end of the year.) “Sport has the power to change the world.
