    Newspapers say that Vyrchys has invested most of his money which were earned in the ring in agricultural business. The investment was made through business partner (vice-president of Ukrainian boxing federation Manger - who now has huge problems with law, being accused of murder in 2018). These money were wasted, Manger owed Vyrchys and his family huge amount.

    He lack the skills and speed to go further but he had the power. Vilaly K said he hit him the hardest.

    I am deeply sorry to hear this. This is one if those guys that would have been a great champ, but he didn't have the killer instinct. He was just two nice. Seems like it got to him in life.

    RIP

    Sad news, to say the least.

    Rest in Peace, Volodymyr.
