Gennady Golovkin, president of the international boxing federation World Boxing and head of Kazakhstan's National Olympic Committee, has been added to the database of the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets. The profile of the famous Kazakh boxer appeared on the resource on August 15, reports infohub.kz.
The site's organizers accused the World Boxing head of "publicly supporting Russian aggression." The reason was the federation's governing body decision to fully lift restrictions on Russian and Belarusian athletes.
In July this year, World Boxing allowed boxers from Russia and Belarus to participate in international tournaments of all ages under their national symbols. It is worth recalling that this international body governs Olympic boxing and conducts qualifying competitions for the 2028 Olympic Games.
In an official statement, the World Boxing executive committee emphasized that Russian athletes would compete on equal terms with boxers from other countries, but the organization would continue to strictly monitor their behavior and compliance with anti-doping protocols.
"The Myrotvorets Center asks law enforcement agencies to consider this publication on the website as a statement about the commission by this citizen of deliberate acts against the national security of Ukraine, peace, security of humanity and international legal order, as well as other offenses," reads Golovkin's card on the Ukrainian resource.
The process of returning athletes began in the spring. In March, the World Boxing executive board approved applications from the boxing federations of Russia and Belarus to join the organization, after which it sent a request to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for clarification on the conditions for athlete participation.
Gennady Golovkin has headed World Boxing since November 23, 2025. As of publication, no official comments from the boxer himself, the NOC of Kazakhstan, or World Boxing representatives regarding the inclusion in the Myrotvorets database have been received.
Myrotvorets is a Ukrainian online resource created in 2014 as an unofficial public database where activists enter information about people whose actions they consider a threat to Ukraine's national security. The portal publishes personal data of public figures, politicians, journalists, and athletes from around the world who have displeased the project's authors. Authorities of several countries and international human rights organizations have repeatedly criticized the site for publishing personal data and lacking legal transparency.
