Vadym Huttsait, 51, a former Olympic fencing champion, told Reuters the idea of allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutrals was unacceptable. Moscow said on Tuesday it would welcome any IOC moves to allow its athletes to compete in the Olympics. But hours later the IOC said it was standing by sanctions imposed against the countries over Russia's invasion. There has been little public support yet from other nations for an outright ban on Russians at Paris.

At least 220 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have died in the war, Huttsait said, with over 340 sports facilities damaged or ruined. However, there has been little public support yet from other nations for an outright ban on Russians at Paris. "Certainly, there is some attempt by the International Olympic Committee to allow our athletes to participate in international competitions," said Stanislav Pozdnyakov, head of Russia's Olympic Committee. 'LIVES MORE IMPORTANT THAN MEDALS'The IOC's previous recommendation to ban Russians and Belarusians has been applied by many sports federations. Should that happen, Ukraine's sporting authorities and athletes will face a "very difficult decision" whether to boycott Paris, Huttsait said.

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is swapping his boxing gloves for a microphone with the release of his debut single, a remake of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline", for charity. The 34-year-old British boxer, who has previously sung for crowds at matches as well as dueted with Robbie Williams, will put out the track, a crowd favourite at sporting events, on Nov. 11 in aid of men’s mental health charity Talk Club. "'Sweet Caroline' is a record I’ve always loved, and I’m excited to record and release it," Fury said in a statement, noting the single will come out just in time for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. But he later struggled with mental health and substance abuse which derailed his career. He fought back and has been vocal about mental health awareness.

La cine a apelat campionul de categorie greaAnthony Joshua (31 de ani) se va lupta în această vară cu Tyson Fury (32 de ani), într-un duel care va unifica toate centurile categoriei grea. Se pare că Anthony Joshua a apelat la doi foști campioni mondiali pentru a-l ajuta să se pregătească pentru întâlnirea cu compatriotul său. Anthony Joshua a enumerat și câțiva pugiliști pe care i-ar dori alături de el pentru a-l ajuta să pregătească lupta cu Tyson. Britanicul a pierdut în fața lui Andy Ruiz, însă, la cea de-a doua întâlnire dintre cei doi, Joshua a revenit și a recâștigat centurile. De cealaltă parte, Tyson Fury are un record impecabil, cu 30 de victorii, nicio înfrângere și o singură remiză.

Sportivul britanic Dillian Whyte a mărturisit că i-a făcut o invitaţie unuia dintre cei mai mari pugilişti din istorie, Wladimir Klitschko, pe care acesta nu a refuzat-o. „Klitschko revine cu siguranţă. I-am oferit o luptă şi ne-a spus că are nevoie de două meciuri de încălzire înainte de a intra în ring cu mine. Este un compliment uriaş în ceea ce mă priveşte pentru că a fost campionul absolut atâţia ani. Dacă revine şi câştigă, e uimitor”, a spus Dillian Whyte (30 de ani), pentru BBC.
