Oleg Vitik, a third-year student majoring in Physical Education and Sports, Master of Sports of Ukraine, Ukrainian student boxing champion, successfully competed in the XXVI International Boxing Tournament in memory of Vitaly Karpatsauskas.
In the first match, Oleg won a confident victory over his experienced opponent from Latvia, Ratovics Davidas (Master of Sports in boxing), with a score of 5:0.
In the second fight, our athlete defeated Gabrielius Savickas (Master of Sports, professional boxer) ahead of schedule.
In the final fight against the tournament host Dainis Arvydas (Master of Sports, participant in the World Boxing Championship), Oleg lost by the judges' decision, taking second place.
This result is a significant achievement not only for the athlete, but also for the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports of Kherson State University, as the training of future coaches combines a thorough theoretical education with active competitive practice, which contributes to the formation of high professionalism, leadership qualities, and the ability to represent Ukraine with dignity in the international sports arena.
