	Volodymyr Virchys was often linked to ~~criminality~~. The former boxer could also be seen around politicians. He was mostly around the former members of the Party of Regions, for example - Volodymyr Prodyvus. The latter heads the Ukrainian Boxing Federation and voted for Yanukovych's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-protest_laws_in_Ukraine Anti-Protest Laws]. Virchis also knew the former deputy from the Party of Regions Iryna Berezhna, who tragically died in a car accident in August 2017. In November 2021, Virchis published a photo with Mykola Tyshchenko, a deputy from Servant of the People.		Volodymyr Virchys was often linked to organized crime.

			In 2006, the first defeat occurred. Two undefeated super heavyweights met in the ring - Ruslan Chagaev (19-0-1 at the time of the fight) and Volodymyr Virchys. With the smallest margin, Chagaev managed to outrun Virchis in a twelve-round fight for the WBO and IBF intercontinental titles. Two judges saw a close victory for Ruslan, one - a draw. Although in such a fight the victory could've easily been given to the Ukrainian.

			The Ukrainian has no time for self-pity. Four months later, he became the EBU European champion, knocking out Paulo Vidoz in the sixth round. This title almost directly led to the world title belt. A few wins, defenses or confident performances, and you could reach the status of a mandatory contender.

			Over the next year, Virchis fought four more times - only one opponent survived until the end of the fight. It was the same Paulo Vidoz who wanted a rematch, but couldn't get anything out of it.

Dodge, otherwise you will catch one," one of Virchis' former teammates recalled his impressions in a Facebook post about the boxer's death.

			Volodymyr had enough skills to use his height, arm swing, punch power, but look completely relaxed. Bidenko was getting caught hard. Responded back well but not enough to knock down such an opponent. There was a knockdown in the second round, and in the twelfth everything ended earlier than planned - a technical knockout by Virchis.

			In the same year, Volodymyr unified the intercontinental championship - he knocked out Lisandro Diaz in the first round, taking away the same belt as the Ukrainian already had, but the WBO version.
