today become a truly recognizable and significant event, said
Eduard Mammadov, Vice-President of the Azerbaijan Kickboxing
Federation and 30-time world champion, during the "Baku Marathon

the attention of both amateurs and well-known athletes. Such

healthy lifestyle,” he said.

educating young people.
