‘Little fighter’ going for title
MAREEBA Muay Thai fighter, 10-year-old Serji Kravchenko, has set his sights on winning the Queensland Paperweight Title when he competes in Brisbane this Saturday.
Serji Kravchenko will be vying to win the Queensland Paperweight Title this weekend.
He will head down for the competition with Rosario Signorino, co-owner of the Spirit Muay Thai gym in Mareeba.
“We are really excited for our little fighter,” Rosario said.
“He has a big heart and has been training almost every day since he began the sport almost a year ago.”
Serji was born in Mareeba after his family moved from Ukraine 14 years ago.
He will be competing against the current state champion in a “five-two” match – five rounds at two minutes per round.
“We’re super proud of him,” Rosario said.
“This is a big comp. Hopefully, we will come back with the title.”
