Viacheslav Vishneskii, a Belarusian boxer contracted by the Sport Committee of Armed Forces of Belarus, are hanging in the balance due to his involvement with the defense structures during Russia's fierce war against Ukraine. 

Vishneskii now faces a critical challenge as his affiliation with the defense structures raises concerns about his eligibility to represent Belarus on the global stage. The implications of his involvement in the intense war have ignited debates about the role of Russian and Belarusian athletes in war and the impact it can have on their sporting careers.

The decision regarding Vishneskii's participation in international competitions carries weight not only for him but also for the broader sports community. It poses fundamental questions about the relationship between sports and politics and the responsibilities of athletes during times of war. The outcome will shape Vishneskii's future and set a precedent for athletes facing similar circumstances.
