Boxing in Ukraine: what awaits athletes if the conflict in the UBA is not resolved?
25 July the Ministry of Justice will consider the complaint of UBA head Volodymyr Prodyvus regarding the legality of entering information into the Unified State Register concerning the “new head” of the boxing community, Kyrylo Shevchenko.
Volodymyr Prodyvus was re-elected to the position of head last 17 December of last year during the scheduled UBA Conferences. Observers from the International Boxing Association (IBA), who can confirm the legality of the procedure, witnessed the reporting and election campaign.
As a result of the scheduled conference, a protocol was drawn up, on the basis of which the relevant information was entered into the USR. The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine is responsible for entering these data. It should be noted that at that time Prodyvus became the new official head of the UBA.
As later became known, not all members of the Boxing Federation of Ukraine were pleased with that election result. Thus, ignoring the official elections, local branches gathered together to 22 February 2022 of the year to hold their own “Conference.”
As a result of that self-styled “conference,” the participants of the unlawful event “re-elected” the head of the Federation, who became Kyrylo Shevchenko.
After appointing the head, the fabricated documentation was submitted to the Ministry of Justice, which, without further questions, 15 June 2022 of the year entered changes to the data about the head of the Boxing Federation in the state register. Kyrylo Shevchenko was registered as the new “head of the UBA” instead of the lawful leader.
Other members of the sports community, as well as the lawfully elected head of the UBA, consider these actions to be a raider seizure of power.
As a result of the incident, the official and lawful head Prodyvus appealed to the Ministry of Justice with a complaint in which he substantiated the unlawfulness of the actions of the organizers of the February conference, as well as the illegality of the actions of the state registrar.
It is important to note that this conflict has become a major problem for Ukrainian boxing. Athletes need to compete constantly to maintain Ukraine’s respectable ranking on the world stages.
