Sahak "Hak" Parparyan (born 4 September 1988) is an Armenian heavyweight-cruiserweight kickboxer, who is sometimes referred to as Sahak "Hak" Avetisyan. He is currently fighting out of the Van Os Gym in Alkmaar, Netherlands where he trains with fellow Armenian fighter and K-1 MAX stalwart Gago Drago. Sahak is a former W.F.C.A. European and World Champion'. and he is former It's Showtime 85MAX world champion.
Fighting out of Alkmaar Sahak made his debut with the It's Showtime organization 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. He would make up for this disappointment the next year, winning 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.
Parparyan made his first title defense against English-American Andrew Tate.
He defeated Jason Wilnis via decision at Iron Ring on September 15, 2012 in Alkmaar, Netherlands.
