(MAR 30) The Ukrainian team
has won medals at this year’s EUBC U22 European Boxing
Championship in Croatia thanks to the support of European boxing
stakeholders.
The men’s Ukrainian boxing team won six medals in total
including two bronze medals, three silver medals along with
Yuriy Zakharieiev winning gold in the men’s light middleweight
category. The women’s team also won medals with three bronze
medals and Karolina Makhno winning gold in the middleweight
category.
IBA remains proud of the boxing
community and how it has come together to support the Ukrainian
boxing team in their attempt to continue to compete. IBA wishes
to acknowledge the support of the German Boxing Association (DBV),
The German Olympic Committee (DOSB) and the city of Heidelberg
for accommodating the Ukrainian boxing team and providing
training facilities. Some of the Ukrainian team has returned to
Heidelberg to train, some have carried on to Assisi and others
to Bulgaria, as they turn their attention toward the EUBC Youth
European Boxing Championship in Sofia, Bulgaria on April 10-22.
The Polish Boxing Association (PZB), the European Boxing
Confederation (EUBC), the German government, the City of
Heidelberg, the Croatian Boxing Federation, the Italian Boxing
Federation and the Bulgarian Boxing Federations have all been
involved in providing support for the Ukrainian team. Support
has been offered both financially and logistically, offering
accommodation, travel and training facilities among others. Many
team members were at a training camp in Heidelberg before
travelling to Croatia to compete at this year’s EUBC U22
European Boxing Championship, while others were provided with
dedicated transport from the border between Ukraine and Poland.
IBA is continuing to look for solutions to help support the
Ukrainian boxing team in the short and long term as its boxers
aim to compete in numerous competitions throughout 2022. IBA is
also committed to providing displaced and refugee athletes with
opportunities to compete through the IBA Fair Chance team.
