During this period Alexander managed to win the championship of Ukraine U-22, the adult championship of Ukraine, the European championship U-22, the adult European championship and the world championship.

"For me it's really a very pleasant event. Frankly, I did not even expect. The fact that I entered my name in the national register of records of Ukraine is an extremely honorable mission, because it is a great honor for me to be close to the record holders of Ukraine.

This event will remain forever in my memory. I never try to set any records, I just work hard every day and try to improve every day.

I am glad that over the past year my work has been embodied in awards, both at domestic and international competitions. My dream is the gold of the Olympic Games and I will go to this goal, "Khizhnyak said..

Note that the Ukrainian Boxing Federation after the victory of Alexander at the World Cup gave the athlete a new apartment in Poltava.
