Zakhar Dzmitrychenka has become a sensation on social media after continuously participating in wrestling at traditional festivals in the early spring of At Ty 2025. After the Belarusian MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter continuously defeated Vietnamese wrestlers in friendly matches, the online community waited for Vietnamese masters to "fight".
Many athletes and former athletes of wrestling and MMA were named such as Can Tat Du, Ha Van Hieu, Pham Van Nam... Among them, Ha Van Hieu with the nickname "Giant Hieu" is a famous face in the village wrestling rings and is mentioned the most.

The SEA Games champion said that this competition is entirely possible because the northern provinces still have many village festivals featuring traditional wrestling. Zakhar will stay in Hanoi until the end of February and continue to visit festival locations to exchange and learn more about Vietnam's traditional wrestling culture.
A few days ago, Zakhar attended an event in Bac Ninh with Ha Van present. However, at that time, the famous Vietnamese wrestler was acting as an organizer so he did not participate in the competition.
Zakhar Dzmitrychenka is nicknamed "Thor" by the online community for his tall, muscular body and blond hair like the character Thor in Marvel movies and comics. The 1997-born boxer's forte is classical wrestling and traditional Central Asian belt wrestling, which has many differences compared to Vietnamese traditional wrestling. Therefore, when competing with local wrestling masters, the Belarusian boxer will not win as easily as when competing with "village boys".
At the recent Chau Phong festival (Hanoi), Zakhar Dzmitrychenka competed with Nguyen The Cu - a professional wrestler who has won many national championships. After 17 minutes of exchange, the two sides were evenly matched.
