The results of the election of the President of the International Boxing Federation (IBA) were challenged in the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).

After the organization’s extraordinary congress in Istanbul on May 14, Russian Umar Kremlev was re-elected as the IBA President. Later, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) expressed its concerns about the situation when the second candidate, Dutchman Boris van der Furst, was chosen for the post of head of the federation due to a lack of competition from the Kremlin, after which he was not accepted. .

“As for the IBA, we are watching the situation very closely. I can say that we are not satisfied with the course of the elections, the result of which was contested in the CAS. This is not something that can be considered good management.

However, we have to wait for the decision of the CAS and we have not made a statement as the case is still ongoing. We hope we get it soon, then the situation will become clearer.

However, there are many other issues that involve financial dependence on a state-owned company. [«Газпром»]”, – TASS quotes IOC President Thomas Bach.

TYSON FURY: “There was a void after Klitschko. He can fill that void.”

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.
