‘We fully support CISM in developing boxing in the military,’ AIBA President Mr. Umar Kremlev said. ‘This is the sport for brave and strong. Everybody knows that the military protects people worldwide. I truly believe that any conflicts should be resolved within competitions, on the ring, not the other way.
