Jamal Petrgrave chose the perfect time to medal at a first major championships, taking home gold at Birmingham 2022.
The middleweight claimed men's -90kg gold thanks to a 'Golden Score' victory over Remi Feuillet of Mauritius.
He is also a three-time British champion having claimed the national crown in 2017, 2019 and 2021.
The 25-year-old had a promising youth career as he grabbed silver at the U23 Europeans in 2018 and a bronze at the junior competition the year before.
In April of last year, the Arsenal fan had to withdraw from the European Championships in Sofia due to injury but a first European Cup gold in Dubrovnik in October 2021 was a sign of what was possible when he got to Birmingham.
