Sahak "Hak" Parparyan (; born 4 September 1988) is an Armenian kickboxer, who is sometimes referred to as Sahak "Hak" Avetisyan. He’s a former It's Showtime 85MAX world champion and was ranked number one in the world during his title reign.
Career Sahak made his It's Showtime debut in 2006, winning a C-Klass bout by decision in his home town. In 2010, after almost exclusively fighting on the Dutch circuit, Sahak headed to Paris to face Abdarhmane Coulibaly for the W.P.M.F. European title, losing a decision to the home fighter after five rounds. In the same year, Sahak won the W.F.C.A. world title by KO'ing Yassin Boudrouz in the fourth round of their match in Belgium. In May 2011, Sahak faced Amir Zeyada for the It's Showtime 85MAX world title, vacated by Melvin Manhoef. After five rounds the Armenian was the new world champion, taking the belt by majority decision in what was one of the most exciting world title fights the organization has ever seen.
