Former world absolute champion Kostya Kju expressed his views on the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision not to include boxing in the 2028 Olympic Games program. “They are really sick people, right? Remove boxing from the Olympic Games, a real men’s sport… There is not even a comment on this,” Kju stated in an interview with “Champion” correspondent. Earlier reports indicated a potential exclusion of boxing from the program for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
