Iranian freestyle wrestler Rahman Amouzad secured a commanding victory over American opponent Real Woods, advancing to the quarterfinals and after defeating an opponent from India, he advanced to the semifinals of the 2025 World Wrestling Championships in Croatia, Zagreb.

Why it matters:

U.S. wrestlers appeared to be the most skilled ones in the world's contests. Defeating Real Woods of the U.S. could pave the way for the famous Iranian wrestler to achieve gold medal. 

 

Key points:

  • Amouzad defeated Real Woods of the United States with a resounding score of 11-1.
  • The second-round victory followed a first-round bye and a previous 13-0 win over Akramjan Khadjimuradov of Kyrgyzstan.
  • The match contrasts sharply with his earlier dominant performances (11-1 and 13-0), highlighting the increasing difficulty of competition at the highest level of the championship bracket.

 

What's next:

The win keeps Amouzad in contention for a gold medal and guarantees him a chance to wrestle for at least a bronze medal if he were to lose in the semifinals.
