It is with great sadness that the International Federation of Muaythai Associations (IFMA) mourns the sudden passing of Mr. Konstantin Zhdanov, a long-serving IFMA International Technical Official and beloved member of our Muaythai family.
For over a decade, Konstantin represented the spirit of fair play, respect, and unity in every championship he served. His professionalism inside the ring and his kindness outside of it earned him the respect and friendship of athletes, coaches, and officials from all corners of the world.
Konstantin’s calm presence, sharp judgement, and unwavering dedication to the art and sport of Muaythai made him a trusted colleague and a cherished friend. His loss will be deeply felt across the entire IFMA family.
In honour of Konstantin’s life and service, the IFMA flag will be flown at half-mast. His spirit will continue to live on in the heart of the Muaythai family worldwide.
We extend our sincerest condolences to his loved ones and to the Russian Muaythai Federation during this difficult time.
Konstantin’s contribution to the sport and his legacy of integrity and respect will forever remain part of IFMA’s history.
