Volin, who holds the rank of Private Soldier, faces the possibility of being barred from participating in international competitions due to his involvement with the defense structures during Russia's brutal war against Ukraine.

As the decision regarding Volin's future in international competitions looms, it not only holds significance for him personally but also sets a precedent for other athletes who find themselves in similar circumstances. The delicate balance between military service and sporting aspirations is being examined, and the outcome will shape the future of Volin's boxing journey and the landscape of professional boxing for others in his position.
