Welcome to Belfast! Mr. Puzdrach presented head coach Billy Murray with gifts from Ukraine.
During a fact-finding mission to Ukraine in August 2023, Billy Murray and Ruslan Puzdrach immediately formed a strong connection upon their first encounter.
Despite Ukraine being amidst war and facing a Russian invasion, Murray received a warm welcome with red carpet treatment.
Mr. Puzdrach is overseeing the final details of the initiative by Billy Murray and Carl Emery, the PeaceFighters, to bring four teenagers from Ukraine to Belfast for a week of relaxation and sports activities, all set of August 2024. Additionally, Mr Puzdrach is also here to advance the collaboration between ProKick and the Ukrainian kickboxing and boxing association.
