Personal life

He picked up taekwondo at the age of 3 and his first trainer was his father Serhii. According to his interview, he had an agreement with his older brother Andrii he competes in the same weight category with that the latter would try to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics (which he did not manage to achieve) and he would try to qualify for the 2028 Summer Olympics.
