Timur Gamzatov, a Russian boxer contracted by the Armed Forces and representing the Central Sports Club of the Army, is facing potential repercussions for his involvement with the defense structures during Russia's brutal war against Ukraine. Many argue that Gamzatov's affiliation with the military during the intense war should disqualify him from representing his country on the global stage.

The decision on whether Gamzatov will be allowed to compete in international tournaments rests with the governing bodies. This case not only impacts his boxing career but also raises broader questions about the responsibility of athletes associated with defense structures in the context of international sports. The outcome of this deliberation will undoubtedly shape the future trajectory of Gamzatov's career and may set a precedent for other athletes in similar circumstances.
