The World Boxing Council has kept its sanctions against Russian and Belarusian representatives, a decision adopted and announced at its annual world convention in Acapulco, Mexico, Ukrinform reported on 13 November. Alina Shaternikova, vice president of the National Professional Boxing League of Ukraine, announced the decision in a Facebook post, saying the WBC "is maintaining sanctions against the aggressor state and its accomplice." As Ukrinform reported, after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine the WBC removed Russian and Belarusian boxers from its rankings and stopped sanctioning professional bouts in both countries. The current summary's account of the decision as keeping existing restrictions in place is consistent with this, while the article does not detail the scope of the restrictions beyond these measures.
