As part of the main tournament, Akzhol Makhmudov from Kyrgyzstan will face Olympic champion Nao Kusaka from Japan. Their match will be held in the weight category up to 82 kilograms.
During the press conference, the athletes jokingly grabbed each other by the lapels.
Makhmudov and Kusaka have already met in the ring twice, and their rivalry is currently balanced — both sides have one victory each.
