Non-sanctioned show on the July 21st, 2006 in Vyborg (RUS)

[Igor Shafer]

Who had informed BoxRec and why BoxRec have listened only single opinion that boxing show, which took place on the July 21st, 2006 in Vyborg (RUS), had not sanctioned by any Russian boxing body ???

I'd like to inform BoxRec that above mentioned show has been sanctioned by Federation of Professional Boxing (St. Petersburg, RUSSIA), President Mr. Vazha Mikaelyan and Boxing Association of St. Petersburg (RUS).

We have got in Russia few professional boxing bodies, who have rights to sanction professional fights under their jurisdiction:

1). Professional Boxing Federation of Moscow (Moscow, RUSSIA)
2). Boxing Association of St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg, RUSSIA)
3). Professional Boxing Federation of Ural & Sibiria (Ekaterinburg,RUSSIA)
4). Noth West Professional Boxing Federatiom (St. Petersburg, RUSSIA)
5). Professional Boxing Federation of Russia (Moscow, RUSSIA)
6). Federation of Professional Boxing (St. Petersburg, RUSSIA)

Some of them has got relationship with Professional Boxing Federation of Russia (Moscow, RUSSIA), General Secretary Mr. Igor Mazurov

But some of them hasn't got relationship with Professional Boxing Federation of Russia (Moscow, RUSSIA).

All of them are independed professional boxing bodies, who can not to dictate their own ruls to all Russian boxing community.

Non of them, on the rest to Russian laws, has got any exlusive rights to control the sport of professional boxing on the territory of Russia and all of them has got rights to sanction professional fights under their jurisdiction.

This is wrong way for person who gave to BoxRec untrue information concerning above mentioned matter and it has inflict serious damage to promoter who had spend his own time and finances.

If BoxRec needs confirmation from President of Federation of Professional Boxing (St. Petersburg< RUSSIA) Mr. Vazha Mikaelyan that above mentionad show has been sanctioned by FPB, so he will send it to BoxRec by fax at nearest time.

All the best,
