Khytrov/Derevyanchenko mistakes

Post by klitoris »

Ievgen Khytrov is a Ukrainian boxer not an American one. Just because he fights out of Brooklyn doesn't make him an American.

Same thing with Sergiy Derevyanchenko who is also a Ukrainian boxer.
Also Sergiy's birthplace is wrong. It should read Feodosiya, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union.

Please make the corrections.

Khytrov asked to be listed as USA.

Feodosia is currently in Russia, we do not list the historical place names as it would be far too complicated.

Did Derevyanchenko also ask to be listed as USA?
Also Feodosiya, Crimea is disputed territory, and by a large majority of the world (100 to 11) is Ukrainian territory.
It seems like there is some political agenda here, since you also removed the birthplace of Oleksandr Usyk (Cruiser-weight) who is from Crimea and strongly considers Crimea as part of Ukraine.
Although all of this talk would be irrelevant if you just listed the correct birthplace since all 3 of them were born in the Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union and not in Ukraine or Russia since those countries did not exist in the 80's.

Derevyanchenko's management ask to be listed in USA for ratings purpose.
Do you have a copy of his federal ID application or passport?
Both should list his place of birth.

If you review their records, it is obvious they’ve never fought in the Ukraine professionally.
Ivan Golub http://editors.boxrec.com/list_bouts.ph ... &cat=boxer
Sergiy Derevyanchenko http://editors.boxrec.com/list_bouts.ph ... &cat=boxer
They are listed in the country where their management hopes to make their fortune.
