Dmitry "Shok" Shakuta (Belarusian: Дзмiтрый Віктаравіч Шакута; born 7 August 1980) is a Belarusian Muay Thai super middleweight kickboxer fighting out of Minsk, Belarus, for the SK-55 gym. He is an eight-time amateur and professional world champion, most well known for being the It's Showtime 77MAX world champion between 2008 and 2009.
On 16 November 2020, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia imposed a travel ban against Shakuta ‘for an unspecified period’ due to his alleged involvement in the killing of peaceful protester Raman Bandarenka. Several sportspeople have previously identified him in photos and videos of the masked persons who attacked Bandarenka. Shakuta has refused to comment on the suspicions. In the same month, Estonia also imposed a travel ban against Shakuta. On 9 August 2021, Shakuta and his sports club were added to the SDN list by the United States Department of Treasury.
