Effective immediately, Dr. Alexander Nikolaevich FADEEV is Head of the medical commission, responsible as coordinator for WKF to WADA. Here is a brief introduction of the expert.

Dr. Alexander Nikolaevich FADEEV

I began my medical career in 2019, working in emergency medical services, where I handled complex cases, including critical care.

I have extensive experience in intensive care and resuscitation.

Since 2019, I have also been actively involved in post-traumatic and post-surgical rehabilitation for athletes across various disciplines, including Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling, kickboxing, fencing, and boxing.

I am proficient in a range of athlete recovery techniques, including therapeutic massage, soft manual therapy, and joint mobilization.

I hold a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation. In February 2026, I founded my own medical center specializing in rehabilitation following injuries, strokes, and surgeries.

The center serves over 600 patients monthly and offers a comprehensive range of services, including physiotherapy, therapeutic nerve blocks, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, and joint injections and aspirations.

A significant portion of our work is dedicated to sports medicine and the recovery of athletes.

As always, all our world rankings are updated regularly.

Every WKF champion has 12 months to defend their title.

After 18 months – without a title defense – the title expires.

Only those listed in our world rankings and holding a valid WKF license can compete for the coveted WKF titles!

My name is Alexandr VARVARENCO, and I am the President of WKF USA.
I am a highly experienced kickboxing coach and sports professional with a higher education in Physical Culture and Sports, specializing as a trainer-teacher.

Silver medalist of the WAKO World Cup, and professional champion of Ukraine under WKA.

During 9 years of coaching in Transnistria, I continued to represent Boeс Sports Club, was appointed head coach, and trained athletes who became national and international champions, including a European champion and silver medalists of the World Cup and European Championships. For my contribution to sports, I was awarded the “Excellence in Physical Culture and Sports” distinction and recognized as Best Coach of 2020.

After moving to the USA, I founded GOLDEN EAGLE FIGHTING CLUB in West Sacramento, California, where over 2 years my students achieved:
• Multiple 1st places in California (IKF)

• Silver medals at the USA Championship (ISKA)

As President of WKF USA, I am committed to developing kickboxing in the United States, organizing high-level competitions, and nurturing the next generation of champions through professional training and athlete development.

This past weekend, the WKF European Kids Open took place in France, organized by the TAO CHIE DO club.

For this inaugural event, the competition brought together 75 competitors from 3 different countries, spread across 2 rings.

A total of 35 finals for girls and boys were contested in an excellent sporting and friendly atmosphere.

We also had the honor of welcoming the president of WKF Belgium, Fabrice DEBOIS, accompanied by representatives from several Belgian clubs.

For a first-time event, I think this Open went very well, and I would like to thank all the volunteers, coaches, referees, competitors, and the participating clubs for their involvement and support.

Next year, we will do it again with even more communication and publicity to attract more countries like Italy, Spain, and many others, to continue growing this international event.
