First Vice President International Boxing AssociationVladimir Prodivus commented to Sports.kz scandalous Asian Championship 2024 finalin which the Kazakhstani Abylaikhan Zhusupov received “gold” after biting an Uzbek citizen Khavasbek Asadullayeva.
“This incident is an unfortunate incident. Why the referee didn’t notice this on the spot is a question of the referee’s professionalism. However, the appeals system worked, and after filing a protest, the correct decision was made to disqualify. “This once again underscores the importance of maintaining integrity in boxing,” Prodivus said.
Let us note that the initial verdict of the judges was in favor of the Uzbek boxer, but after a protest the victory was given to the Kazakh boxer.
