In the final b-boy battle, B-Boy Amir dominated against Phil Wizard, a Canadian b-boy known for his unique style, to become the first breaker from Kazakhstan to win the Red Bull BC One World Final.
B-Girl Logistx said: “This is a dream. I literally envisioned this moment so many times. Red Bull BC One is something I’ve always wanted to win. I feel it is not just the belt, it’s not just the title, but what I am representing on the floor, the values and morals. Thank you everybody in the room for giving me this energy.”
