The world youth champion in Kickboxing, the 17-year-old Albanian Gerald Gega, has reacted to the news of the Greek media, which changed his statement regarding his nationality, Euronews Albania reports.
Gerald Gega was announced this week in Italy as the World Junior Kickboxing Champion. The young man originally from the city of Fier, who was born, lived and trained in the Greek state, was received with ovations in the Greek media, so much so that some of them changed his statements about his nationality, according to Gega.
"I said I grew up in Greece, but I didn't say I am Greek. I said that I am Albanian, I have Albanian blood and I am proud to be Albanian. Great Albania. Long live Albania," said the champion in a television interview.
According to him, this news may have circulated to please himself, since where he lives, in Crete, he is the only one who received those medals.
