(FEB 11) Speaking at the
Press Conference before the finals of the World Boxing Tour
event, Golden Belt Series tournament in Marrakesh, Morocco, IBA
President Umar Kremlev stressed that the national team of the
USA shouldn’t struggle because of the decision of the
administration.
“This decision doesn’t belong to the athletes themselves. Not
one of the sports administrators or politicians in the world is
entitled to deprive athletes of their dream to become World
Champions.
Boxers dedicate their whole life
to the sport, while administrators and politicians come to and
go. Those, who are doing this to our athletes, are worse than
hyenas and jackals, they violate the integrity of sport and
culture. I urge all my colleagues to clear their organizations
of such hyenas, as I can’t call them another way.
IBA will do its utmost to help
athletes from the USA to come and participate in the World
Boxing Championships and will assist them, including
financially. For this, we have our Financial Support Programme.
We will fight for each and every country to give them a chance
to participate in our tournaments representing their flag and
anthem.
For those administrators
and politicians who are deciding for the athletes, shouldn’t be
involved in the sport,’ President Kremlev said.
A fact-based response to the USA Boxing statement will follow.
