Background

Kickboxing career

edit

Shcherbatiuk faced Khasankhon Baratov for the WAKO Intercontinental Super Heavyweight (+91 kg) K-1 title at 2021 Uzbek Open on June 16, 2021. He won the fight by a fourth-round knockout.[2]

In April 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Shcherbatiuk joined the 118th Territorial Defense Brigade and took part in the Battle of Popasna.[3] He was allowed to leave the armed forces in June to take part in the 2022 World Games, where he competed in the -91 kg kickboxing division. He captured the bronze medal, having lost to Bahram Rajabzadeh in the semifinals.[4][5] In August 2022, he was awarded the "For Labor and Victory" medal, a state award given by the president of Ukraine to individuals for significant merits in strengthening Ukrainian statehood, courage and self-sacrifice shown in the protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.[6]
