And now they apologize for it. On Monday afternoon, a short statement appeared on the website. Here is its full text:
During the broadcast of the professional boxing gala in Wrocław, before the duel with the participation of the German Representative – Artur Mann, the verses of the musical piece “Das Deutchlandlied” were recreated by mistake, which do not constitute the current national anthem of the Federal Republic of Germany. The organizer of Polsat Boxing Promotions apologizes to all viewers for this unintentional mistake. The organizers’ representatives also apologized directly to the competitor and his team.
Mateusz Borek comments on the scandal at the gala in Wrocław
The historical piece has survived to this day, but has undergone significant changes and has been sung from the third verse. In Wrocław, however, he was played at the gala from the first stanza. “Someone who played or rather checked the hymns to be played in the hall in Wrocław before the Jeżewski vs Mann fight should never do it again” – he wrote on Twitter.
Mann, despite the organizers’ setback, on Saturday changed 10 rounds, that is the full distance, and defeated Jeżewski on points. The Polish boxer did not hide his disappointment after the fight. – Failure is never easy. Maybe let’s leave it like that – said Jeżewski with tears in his eyes on Polsat Sport.
