Dear WAKO fiends,

With great sadness and regret I have to inform you that WAKO IF vice president and president of Hungarian kickboxing federation, Dr. Richard Leyrer has passed away.

Dr. Richard Leyrer was one of pioneers of kickboxing and WAKO. For fifteen long years Richard and me, as WAKO IF presidents, were fighting together, side by side, for our sport and our WAKO. For all these time I had always considered him as one of my closest friends and I always felt nothing but great respect and friendship to him.
He was always giving all of himself for kickboxing, for athletes, for his federation and of course, WAKO. He was building up what we have now, the best, strongest and only one recognized World wide kickboxing federation.
Please, let us all convey our deepest condolences to his family.
Let us all remember Dr Richard Leyrer for the great things he has done and only as a great man as he was.
Let him rest in peace.

Dr. Borislav Pelevic
WAKO Europe President
