«Sosnovsky will work until the end of the year, and then he will go on vacation. He no longer needs this,» Kotelnik said.

According to him, Sosnovsky reached an agreement with Kyrylo Shevchenko, who could not cope with his duties during this difficult time for the country. «And as time has shown, he could not handle this pressure. He supported the authorities and brought in people who are destroying Ukrainian boxing today,» Kotelnik noted in an interview with «Sport-Express.»
