Vital Hurkou In Minsk: Each Victory For Me Feels Like The First One

World champion Vital Hurkou together with our Thai boxers flew back to Minsk.

“Every time it feels like like it’s the first one,” – Vital Hurkou said immediately after his arrival in Minsk to Belsat TV channel about winning the Muay Thai World Championship finals.

Hurkou singled out “the difficult conditions and circumstances” and the other “personal things” among the special features of this tournament.

During the semi-final his uncle was on the operating table. “He had an operation done on his heart,” – the athlete said.

When asked about the T-shirt with “Pahonia”, which he was wearing at the awards ceremony, Vital Hurkou snapped: “It’s just a T-shirt. No one paid special attention to it.”

“You like SpongeBob or Le Coq Sportif? So, I like this kind of T-shirt.”

At the final of the Championship in Thai boxing, which takes place in Swedish Jönköping (Jonkoping), Vital Hurkou turned aside Ekapana Sambaansaba from Thailand, who hadn’t lost to anyone for four years.
