On March 28, 2022, the Russian occupiers killed Oleksiy, a famous Ukrainian boxer and children's coach in the past, in Irpin.

Oleksiy Dzhunkivskyi died in a boxing gym during "communication" with the Russian military. The coach was shot on the spot.

Oleksiy Dzhunkivskyi four times won medals of the World Championship among military personnel. After the end of his career, he became a children's coach and trained many famous boxers. Among his pupils are the 2016 European champion among schoolchildren Oleg Laguta and the silver medalist of the 2015 European Championship among schoolchildren Vladyslav Marchuk.

Oleksiy's wife, Anastasia, published a post on Telegram:
"You, Oleksiy Dzhunkivskyi, are 41 years old today...
Some people do not manage to do what YOU managed to do even in 100 years!
I remember, everyone remembers.
Believe me, I know!
I am grateful to you for everything. Thank you for our daughter, who does not let me relax, just like you, keeps me in good shape )
I thank you that you are always there, as you promised, that you protect, support and protect even from where you are now, I feel it.
Everyone knows you as a great coach and athlete, but I know you better.
And all this will remain forever in my memory and in my heart, and no one will take it away.
And I am grateful to God that you were in my life.
I will never forget your call when you called at 5.20 and said: "Nastyusha, probably the war has started ("probably" so as not to scare me) take the children, you have to leave, but sleep until 9 in the morning, then you will go (as much as you save my dream), it's just straight to the heart.
I am infinitely proud of you!
You saved so many people and did good deeds at that time in Irpen, I received a lot of SMS thanking you for you.
True, I have not yet been to Irpin without you."

Colleagues and students of the athlete and coach added: "Oleksiy will remain a true Ukrainian forever in the memories of Ukrainians, athletes, colleagues, friends and acquaintances."

ASPI news has a copy of Oleksiy's message dated March 1, 2022, where he wrote that he still has time to catch saboteurs. Oleksiy Dzhunkivskyi is a real Hero of Ukraine!
