Russian coach Kravtsov said he was not surprised by the decision of the US team to boycott the World Cup
The head coach of the Russian national boxing team, Eduard Kravtsov, appreciated the decision of the US team to boycott the 2023 World Championship (WCH). His words leads “Championship”.
“It is clear that the refusal of the US team to participate in the World Boxing Championship is stupid, on the one hand. On the other hand, I am not surprised by anything, ”said Kravtsov.
The coach added that the absence of American boxers will not significantly affect the competition. He also suggested that, following the US, other teams would boycott tournaments where Russians would be allowed to participate in a non-neutral status.
On February 8, it became known that the US team will miss the 2023 World Cup due to the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes with the national flag and anthem. “Participation in the World Cup will violate not only the sanctions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), reaffirmed on February 2, but also the principles of fair play and transparency,” the team said.
On October 5, the International Boxing Association (IBA) admitted boxers from Russia and Belarus to international competitions under the auspices of the organization. Athletes are allowed to compete under national flags, and if they win, the national anthem will be played.
