Amouzad will battle with Takuto Otoguro of Japan in the men’s freestyle 65kg, UWW.org reported.
Otoguro has been the weight's most dangerous offensive threat since 2018 when he became the youngest Japanese male to win world gold. He's a guy with cat-like reflexes, is highly elusive, and isn't afraid to give up a point to get a point. His counter-offensive abilities make him super dangerous. He gets to his angles better than anyone in the weight.
Amouzad is a tactician when it comes to breaking down his opponents—mentally and physically.
It’s a rare occurrence having Olympic champions share a bracket together, but that’ll be the case as Greco-Roman wrestlers Geraei and Luis Orta of Cuba will share the 67kg bracket in Belgrade. Both of these guys possess a high wrestling IQ and experience, making this potential matchup a must-watch.
Geraei is a true 72kg competitor who struggles to make 67kg, while Ortz Sanchez is a true 63kg pushing to make 67kg.
Geraei, despite losing the final last year, has been a top wrestler at 67kg over the last few years, catapulting himself up the pound-for-pound rankings after winning world and Olympic gold medals.
Iran's Amir Hossein Zare will battle FS 125kg - Gable Steveson from the US in freestyle 125kg.
Despite only being 22 years old, Steveson and Zare have already disrupted the heavyweight pecking order and become worldwide superstars.
The two have engaged in repeated exchanges on social media, each staking their claim as the "Heavyweight King." Belgrade could potentially put an end to that debate.
“(Gable) is a good talent and I think he has a different wrestling style than others; he is very bold. In my opinion, his biggest strength is his self-confidence,” said Zare.
“Defeating (Gable) doesn't mean anything to me like other competitors because of the sense of competition I have with him. Winning against him makes me happy because we have a common goal in this competition,” he added.
The 2023 World Championships kicks off September 16-24 in Belgrade, Serbia.
