Olympic champion Tishchenko said that American boxers will suffer because of the World Cup boycott
Two-time Olympic boxing champion, Russian Alexei Tishchenko spoke about the decision of the US team to boycott the 2023 World Championship (WCH) because of the performance of the Russians. His words are quoted by RBC.
The athlete with the phrase “the Americans punished themselves” appreciated the boycott of the team. In his opinion, American boxers themselves will suffer from non-participation in the tournament, who will not be able to show themselves at the tournament.
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. In their opinion, the participation of Russians violates the principles of fair play and transparency.
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.
