We are talking about Umar Kremlev. As you know, Mr. Kremlev is the President of the International Boxing Association (IBA), whose Board of Directors on March 4, 2022 condemned military actions against Ukraine and banned Russians and Belarusians from participating in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
Whether Mr. Kremlev shares the position of the IBA Board of Directors or not, no one still knows, since Mr. Kremlev remains silent on his social networks, which he actively maintains, where there is not a word about the special operation.
