In latest boxing news, the International Boxing Association (AIBA) today announced that it will organise training camps for athletes in Khabarovsk, Russia in the light of several requests being received from various National Federations from Africa, the Americas and Asia pleading to arrange a training camp for their athletes to prepare for competitions given the impossibility of arranging such an event in their nations due to various restrictions caused by the COVID 19 pandemic.
The 'Konstantin Korotkov Memorial' international boxing tournament took place in Khabarovsk and hence all the required facilities are in place to arrange the training camp. Also, the entry requirements to Russia are relatively unrestricted for now and teams can visit the country without being quarantined.
‘We would like to support all federations, and first of all our athletes and coaches to be fully prepared for every competition. Our main task is to help them to compete at the highest level. Because of that, we are going to organize the training camps and to provide full support for our boxers’, AIBA President Umar Kremlev said.
The camp will be organized from July 3 to July 23, 2021 and All National Federations can apply for participation with requests need to be sent before Tuesday, June 15.
