Friends!

Friends! Ukrainian boxer Olexander Khizhnyak became the world champion in boxing. I sincerely congratulate him with such an important victory! Khizhnyak is the only Ukrainian boxer who won the medal in the 2017 World Championship in Hamburg. In addition, this year, 22-year-old Olexander Khizhnyak has already won the European Championship.

In the final match of the category up to 75 kg, Ukrainian won Kazakh boxer Abilkhan Amankulov. Alexander Khizhnyak had a great advantage during the entire battle, and in the end all five judges gave him a 5-0 victory.

The talented Ukrainian boxer was born on August 3, 1995 in Poltava. The boy's coach is his father, who is also called Olexander Oleksandrovych Khizhnyak. He is a well-deserved trainer of Ukraine, and because of his instructions, Khizhnyak Jr. began boxing. Now father spends 24 hours a day with his son: he teaches, coaches, supports. The young athlete loves his parents extremely and appreciates their support, as well as the support of spectators and box fans.

The secret to the success of Olexander Khizhnyak is simple - hard work. He never gets lazy, even when he has time to rest, because exercises are an important part of every day. From the boxing Alexander rests by doing other sports, for example, riding a bike or swimming.

Friends! Such talented, purposeful, hardworking people as Alexander Khizhnyak are the future of the Ukrainian nation. I wish the young boxer to conquer new heights, gain news victories, have a lot of strengths and good health!
