Kielce recently hosted a significant sports and charity event featuring the legendary Polish boxer, Andrzej Gołota, as an honoured guest. The boxing champion attended the Polish Boxing League match between Rushh Kielce and Golden Team Nowy Sącz, held at the Sports and Entertainment Hall on Żytnia Street.
Prof. h.c. Rafał Marcin Wasik, Secretary General – World Chairman of the International Human Rights Commission IHRC Corporation / Interpol Center USA, also attended the event. During the match, Professor Wasik met with Grzegorz Nowaczek, President of the Polish Boxing Association, to discuss potential collaborations aimed at promoting sport and humanitarian activities.
Andrzej Gołota’s visit coincided with his participation in the charitable initiative “TEAM 300”, organised by Juventus Academy Foundation Rzeszów, led by its President, Kamil Zalewski. This initiative supports children suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). During the event, Gołota signed Juventus Academy Rzeszów football shirts and boxing gloves, which will be auctioned to raise funds for affected children. The boxer expressed his wholehearted support, emphasising his deep concern and best wishes for the children’s well-being.
IHRC Corporation actively endorses such humanitarian initiatives, recognising sport as a powerful vehicle for social integration and promotion of human rights values.
Special thanks for their outstanding support and involvement in this event go to Mr. Andrzej Gołota, Mr. Ryszard Jakubski, Mr. Robert Bednarczyk and Mr. Piotr Grabek, whose contributions greatly enhanced the success of these valuable sporting and charitable activities.
