Jordan Burroughs:

Burroughs understands the importance of being fit and be in top shape. 74kg is one of the most competitive weight classes in men’s wrestling. Boasting the like of Frank Chamizo, and Zaurbek Sidakov, Burroughs will have to give his all, if he wants to stand a chance to clinch another gold at the Olympics.
