It was established that Ukrainians in the U.S. have achieved significant success in sports. A vivid example is the boxer Viktor Litkevych, who was born in Kharkiv. Therefore, it becomes relevant to study the life path and sports career of this Kharkiv native in order to preserve knowledge and memory of him as part of the national heritage.
