Ukraine to boycott women’s boxing World Championship in Delhi, joins growing list of countries

The Ukraine boxing team will not participate in the upcoming Women’s Boxing World Championship in New Delhi due to the presence of boxers from Russia and Belarus. Oleg Ilchenko, the vice-president of the Boxing Federation of Ukraine, stated that their boxers will not compete “on the same stage as athletes from the aggressor countries.” This boycott also includes the men’s World Championship, as Ukraine joins several other countries who have pulled out of the tournament due to the inclusion of Russian and Belarussian boxers.
