At the World Championships in Sweden Belarusian boxer defeated a Thai opponent, who had not lost for consecutive 4 years.
In the Muay Thai Championship final which took place in Sweden, Vital Hurkou has defeated Ekapan Sambaansab from Thailand, who had won all his matches in the last four years.
Hurkou fights in the 75 kg weight category.
Hurkou may have missed this event: the Sports Ministry had no funds for his trip. Within hours Belarusians collected 68 million Br that Hurkou rejected. In early May, the Ministry of Sports said that they found the money.
Today, the victory was also celebrated by another Thai boxer from Belarus – Alena Lyashkevich. Soon Belarusians Dzyanis Hancharonak, Zmitser Valent and Andrei Herasimchuk will fight in their relevant finals.
