The Belarus team have been preparing for the Championships at a training camp in Russian resort Sochi, which hosted the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

The Championships, where competition is scheduled to start on Monday (May 1) and last until May 14, is due to see more than 670 boxers from 118 countries.

IBA's flagship men's and women's events have been shrouded by boycotts from National Federations unhappy with the governing body under Russian President Umar Kremlev, and its decision to allow Russian and Belarusian boxers to compete under their own flags.

A group of 11 countries boycotted the 2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships in New Delhi last month.

Countries including Britain, the United States, Ireland, Czech Republic, Canada, Sweden and New Zealand will also be missing the men's event in Tashkent.

Since the Women's World Championships this year, a rival International Federation called World Boxing has been established.

World Boxing aims to secure the sport's future in the Olympic Games as the feud between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the IBA continues.

The body is led by an Interim Executive Board comprised of representatives from Germany, Britain, The Netherlands, the Philippines, Sweden, and the United States.

Dutch Boxing Federation President Boris van der Vorst is one of the members of the Interim Executive Board.

He also leads the Common Cause Alliance, established to prioritise boxing's presence at the Olympics, which is in doubt from Los Angeles 2028 and not guaranteed for Paris 2024 due to a row over technical officials.

The IBA has termed World Boxing as a "rogue" organisation and has threatened to expel countries who join the rival body.

On Wednesday (April 26), USA Boxing terminated its IBA membership - the first National federation to do so - as it looks to join World Boxing

USA Boxing decided to end its membership due to IBA’s "failure to uphold its mission and principles of its constitution and failure to respect the Olympic Charter and Movement".

The IBA has announced that an official complaint against all involved in the creation of World Boxing has been issued.
