Ukrainian kickboxer Hlib Mazur won a gold medal at the 2025 World Games, defeating Azerbaijani athlete Amin Guliyev in the final bout.
Final and achievements of Ukrainian athlete
The fight for first place in the 63.5 kg weight category turned out to be more challenging for the 22-year-old Mazur than his previous matches in the tournament. However, the Ukrainian managed to overcome Amin Guliyev from Azerbaijan with a score of 3:0 and step onto the highest podium.
Hlib Mazur is already the 2023 world champion and the 2022 and 2024 European champion. Now, his collection has been enriched with a gold medal from the 2025 World Games.
