Iran's Rahman Amouzad named world's 'Most Dominant’ freestyle wrestler of 2025
The United World Wrestling (UWW) has named Rahman Amouzad from Iran as the “Most Dominant” freestyle wrestler of 2025.
“Amouzad was about as perfect as you could be in a season, returning to prominence with title-winning efforts at the World Championships, Islamic Solidarity Games and Muhamet Malo Ranking Series event and finishing the season as the No.1 ranked wrestler in the world at 65kg with 58,000 Ranking Series points,” the UWW said said in a post on its official Instagram account on Wednesday.
The UWW stated that the Iranian athlete collected “an unblemished 14-0 record” in 2025.
Five of those victories were against “top-level opponents” who hold world or Olympic medals, including Real Woods from the US, Umidjon Jalalov from Uzbekistan, Taiyrbek Zhumashbek Uulu from Kyrgyzstan, and Kotaro Kiyooka from Japan.
