Sergey Chepinoga, president of World Version W5 of Professional Kickboxing:
“Vlad, I cannot even begin to understanding how you feel after the shocking decision, which would surprise anybody that knows at least a little about the sport. There is so much effort going into the preparations and it only comes down to 9 minutes to show it! The fights speak for the fighters! Unfortunately, in some instances, there simply isn’t enough time to show everything that was mastered through sweat and tears. After the fight, the loop just goes back to endless waiting and countless trainings. Sometimes, I want to return to the ring myself in order to relive those feelings of the past. I completely understand how challenging it may be. For a true fighter with ambitions, a victory would be the passing of their own test that tested fighter’s mastery, determination, and professional growth. Your progress is obvious to everyone who wishes to recognize it. Your ambitions and bravery to try some new, your desire for self-improvement, make you a true warrior who never stops on what he achieved and just keeps aiming higher. I wish the best of luck to you! The true admirers of this beloved sport follow all your steps towards greatness as they see how much passion you show during your fights. A painter or a writer has plenty of time for self-expression, but we only get 3 minutes per round. I will be waiting patiently for your future fights and I will be following your path as you continue improving your mastery in this complex sport! Good luck! The time works for you, so use it to gain sweet rewards from your results! I wish patience to you and your coach, Andrey Chadin! Make your conclusions and carry on forward! Let the history start right now! “ @ Moscow, Russia
