NEW DELHI: Dutch boxer Megan de Cler has gone against her national federation to become the lone pugilist from 11 boycotting nations to compete in the ongoing Women's World Championships here.
The International Boxing Association's (IBA) decision to lift the ban on Russian and Belarusian pugilists, allowing them to compete under their own flag, against the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) recommendations due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, led several countries to boycott the marquee event.
