Earlier this month, the Russian Boxing Federation (RBF) launched an operational headquarters and hotline to support Russians impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, including the delivery of 16,000 masks and 2,000 litres of sanitizer and antiseptics.
According to Umar Kremlev, the Secretary General of the Russian Boxing Federation, several Russian boxers are also volunteering to help deliver the necessary protective and sanitary equipment.
“Boxers will be engaged in charity work,” Kremlev told tass.ru. “We will help the population, give out protective equipment, masks and antiseptics for free. We will also definitely help veterans of the Great Patriotic War [World War II].
