[4] Several athletes, including 2023 World Championships medallists Edmond Khudoian and Sharabutdin Ataev, published their personal congratulations through their social media.

Bantamweight Vladimir Nikitin was given a unanimous decision against Ireland's world champion Michael Conlan in the quarterfinal of the tournament, with judges all scoring for the Russian in rounds one and three.

Afterwards, in an irate television interview, Conlan claimed AIBA were cheats and had been paid to fix fights.

In order to reach the quarterfinal bout with Conlan, Nikitin was controversially awarded the win by split decision when he fought Thailand's Chatchai Butdee.

"[8] The day after the quarterfinal AIBA denied these allegations; however, they removed several Judges and Referees for the panel for the rest of the games over irregularities in scoring.
