Ukrainian former world boxing heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has called on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban Russian athletes, following the Russian invasion in his homeland.

Global sports governing bodies have moved to suspend Russian and Belarusian athletes since the invasion began in February, while the IOC has recommended that the athletes do not take part in international competition or compete under a neutral flag.

Klitschko, whose brother Vitali is the mayor of Kyiv, enlisted in the Ukrainian reserve army shortly after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. “Actions speak louder than words. Isolation, and this isolation speaks louder than any word or any line because isolation is painful.”

Sorry former mayor of Kiev. Go back to the boxing ring

Cancel culture at its finest

Klitschko is mad and foolish. Who banned athletes feom Ukraine when it was torturing and murdering Donbas people? He must not behave like racist Israelis.

We agree

Why his name has changed, is he trying to avoid having the same name with the mighty Putin 🤔
