Hamburg - The silver medalist of the European Games in Minsk 2019 is supposed to fight six fights per year.
The 2.01 meter tall athlete caused a stir at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
There the Frenchman with Azerbaijani roots went on a sit-in after being disqualified in the quarter-finals because he was accused of deliberately headbutted.
"Everyone saw that I won," he shouted.
A protest at the CAS Sports Court was subsequently dismissed.
