Thai boxing championship, organized by demobilized reconnaissance man, is to take place in Vinnytsia today

Today, a Thai boxing championship will be held in Vinnytsia sport club “Knock-out” for the first time.

The competition’s organizer Oleh Volkov was a reconnaissance man during his participation in anti-terrorist operations. Prior to that, he went in for different martial arts for over ten years. When he came back from the frontline, he organized Thai boxing trainings for young people. In addition to that, Oleh teaches youth not only boxing but also places emphasis on their military-patriotic education.

Admission is free, while fees for participants are 100 hryvnias. The money raised during the championship will go to charitable causes – to military hospitals, to families of perished participants in the ATO zone, to orphanages, etc.

The championship starts at 11.00.
