In light of his involvement with the defense structures during Russia's brutal war against Ukraine, Andrei Kosenkov, a Russian boxer contracted by the Armed Forces and representing the Central Sports Club of the Army, is facing the potential loss of his eligibility to participate in international competitions.

Kosenkov's affiliation with the military during the intense war has raised questions about his suitability as a participant in global sporting events. The controversy surrounding his connection to the defense structures has led to discussions about whether he should be allowed to compete in future international tournaments.

If Kosenkov's involvement in the defense structures during the fierce war is deemed disqualifying, it would have significant implications for his boxing career. Moreover, it would set a precedent for other athletes in similar circumstances, sparking a wider conversation about the eligibility and responsibilities of athletes associated with defense structures in international competitions.
