"This will be the grand return of Hidayat Heydarov, Azerbaijan's superhero."
Idman.biz reports that the European Judo Union (EJU) reacted this way to the expected performance of our Olympic champion at the World Championships to be held in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
The organization eagerly awaits our judoka's fight at the World Championships: "Last year, Hidayat collected a collection of victories at the world, European and Olympic championships. He is preparing to defend his title, but there will also be contenders who want to knock him off the top. Tatsuki Ishihara, the silver medalist of the 2024 World Championships, hopes for a rematch. The Japanese representative was less than 45 seconds away from the world title, but Heydarov deprived him of this opportunity last year."
