World Championship Kickboxer Lihoodomov passes away, according to Russia's Kickboxing Federation report
In a tragic turn of events, the Russian kickboxing community is mourning the loss of one of its brightest stars. Dmitry Likhodumov, a world champion and multiple Russian champion, passed away at the age of 50.
The Russian Kickboxing Federation announced Likhodumov's death, but the exact cause remains unspecified. Reports suggest that his body was found in the Moscow region with signs of severe beatings, indicating that the cause of death was related to physical trauma rather than natural causes.
Born in 1973, Likhodumov started coaching in 2004. His unorthodox technique, unique style, and immense willpower made him stand out in the world of kickboxing. He was one of the most successful Russian kickboxers, with a series of impressive achievements to his name.
Likhodumov won the Russian national championship in 1998, 1999, and 2001. He was a prize-winner at the European Championship, a finalist at the World Championship, and became a world professional champion in 2002. He held the title of international master of sports in kickboxing and made significant contributions to the sport's development in Lipetsk and beyond.
His achievements extended beyond his home city. He made a significant contribution to the development of kickboxing beyond Lipetsk, helping to grow the sport across Russia. His impact was felt far and wide, and he will be sorely missed by the kickboxing community.
Likhodumov's career was marked by numerous accolades. He took bronze at the European championship in 2000 and won silver at the World championship in 2001. His three Russian championship titles are a testament to his dedication and skill.
Dmitry Likhodumov was not just a champion in the ring. He was a beloved figure in the kickboxing community, known for his passion for the sport and his dedication to nurturing the next generation of fighters. His loss is a significant one, and our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Dmitry Likhodumov. Your legacy will live on in the sport you loved so dearly.
