“It is important for the entire sports world to keep boxing as an Olympic sport, and this will be the most important work priority for me. I also intend to work closely with the International Olympic Committee on boxing’s commitment to the Olympic values of honesty, fairness and transparency.
I am sure that my experience as a professional athlete will help to build a system within World Boxing, and with joint efforts we will be able to give a new impetus to the development of boxing, but we still have a lot to do ahead of us,” said Golovkin.
