The latest news increasingly indicates a trend in which functionaries and representatives of various industries are tired of the age-old mixing of their activities with current political contexts.

"Sport is out of politics" is a phrase that is a great reminder that cooperation and compromise are inevitable. Especially when it comes to boxing, a sport that is hard to imagine without the Russians.

Kremlev answered all pressing questions related to the future of boxing, and interaction with the International Olympic Committee and also noted that boxing is a friendly family that will develop regardless of political strife.

Moreover, as Kremlev notes, there are no questions about the popularity of boxing - about 120 countries have already submitted applications to acquire the rights to the finals, and athletes from Europe are personally contacting Umar Kremlev to resolve current problems in the interests of everyone.
