Is sport outside of politics? Azerbaijan to miss European Boxing Championship for the first time in its history
The Azerbaijan Boxing Federation board meeting was held and it was decided not to participate in the Men’s European Boxing Championship, which will be held in Yerevan on May 21-31.
The decision is reportedly linked to the upcoming elections to the International Boxing Association in May, fees and training programs for athletes for the World Boxing Championship, and other sensitive issues.
It should be noted that for the first time in the history of European men’s boxing championships, Azerbaijan will not participate in the tournament.
As for “sensitive issues”, Azerbaijan and Armenia claim Nagorno-Karabakh lands in the Southern Caucasus. In 2020, the Second Karabakh War took place – Azerbaijan recaptured a significant part of the territories captured by Armenia during the first campaign of 1987-94.

Former two-time world champion Tyson Rage He believes that boxer Agit Kabayel will be the first boxing star in Germany after the Klitschko brothers, who usually hold their fights here.
“Germany has been missing a bright boxing star for a long time. In the early 2000s, the country experienced a real boom thanks to the Klitschko brothers, Arthur Abraham and Marco Huck. After the end of the Klitschko era, this scene was almost empty. Now there is a gap there, and in my opinion, Agit has the capacity to be the boxer to fill this gap,” said Tyson.
Previously, former world champion Tyson Fury explained why Alexander Usyk will not fight against interim WBC champion Agit Kabayel.
