Both Vladimir Maksimovitch Shevchuk and Evgeniy Vladimirovitch Ivashchenko were named as winners following a prize draw amid the flagship event in the Russian city.

Shevchuk won a dinner with sambo legend Fedor Emelianenko, a five-time world champion in the 100 kilograms division.

He learnt that he had won the prize on television and is a father to three sons who all practice sambo.

"I want my elder son to go and dine with Fedor, it was all done on his behalf," said Shevchuk.

"I hope he meets Fedor and talks to him as soon as possible, I believe they've got things to discuss."
