At the September World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, Tazhudinov, then 20, beat Snyder and Sadulayev ahead of schedule to win the gold medal.
— You said Kyle Snyder wasn’t the most important opponent for you?
“There is no way to deliberately prepare for it.” But writing it off would be a big mistake.
—Is there a main rival?
– There is no principle. If you think it’s Ahmed [Тажудинов], then no. If I had principles, I would go to a tournament now where he would fight.
– He said you were the first to congratulate him.
– We were close (Laughs). I knew he would shoot soon, but I didn’t think it would be so soon. I knew that at the World Cup he would ruin the weather for many. And that’s what happened.
– Do you know who is going through the hardest time right now? Shamil Omarov! He’s your and Ahmed’s coach. He said he didn’t know who to root for.
– Accept! – Sadulaev said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on .
Sadulayev is 27 years old. He won the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (2016) and Tokyo (2020), the athlete has won the World Championships five times and the European Championships four times.
