The Iraqi champion, Hussein Sami, withdrew today, Wednesday from the World Cup in Kickboxing, refusing to face the entity's player.

The media coordinator of the Kickboxing Federation, Ahmed Rahim Nema, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The Open Kickboxing World Cup kicked off today in the Uzbek capital, Tashkent, with wide participation. Iraq was represented in the tournament by three Iraqi clubs: Gas Al-Janoub, Al-Hudood, and Dohuk.".

He added, "The draw pitted the Asian and world champion, Hussein Sami, with a player from the Zionist entity, which made the delegation management decide that our player would not participate in the fight and withdraw from it."
