Fighting in shorts with the words 'Mariupol' and 'Ukraine'. Khanakov achieved a bright victory in the USA.


Ukrainian fighter Bovar Khanakov achieved an exciting victory in his first fight after returning to bare-knuckle boxing. He defeated American Ruben Varr by unanimous decision with the score of 50-45 and 49-46.
This is a significant victory for Khanakov, as Varr was considered the favorite of the match. The fight took place in Los Angeles, USA.
The Ukrainian fighter fought in shorts that had the inscriptions 'Mariupol' and 'Ukraine'. This victory was his first after losing to James Brown and announcing the end of his career.
Other Ukrainian boxers have also faced difficulties lately. Oleksandr Zakhodzhi lost his first fight and lost the championship title. His opponent was Labinot Ksdjay, who managed to defeat Zakhodzhi by knockout.
This is a significant defeat for Zakhodzhi, who previously had many victories and the EBU title. Ksdjay became the opponent of the Ukrainian boxer only five days before the fight, as the previous opponent was injured.
This is a significant victory for Khanakov after his career break, and it proves his great potential in boxing.
