minus-squaretakeda@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up55·2 months agoIBA was itself disqualified for corruption and being slanted pro Russia. They never provided evidence to their claims, and can you imagine that this disqualification was involved right after she won against a Russian boxer? Why didn’t they do it after she won against Nigerian (IIRC) boxer? Or what about her losing 9 times to other women?
