Hüseyin Akbaş
[2][3] Hüseyin Akbaş grew up in the small town of Tokat in Asia Minor and took up the Turkish national sport of oil wrestling at an early age.Nail Garayev from the Soviet Union and Ignazio Fabra from Italy defeated him in this style.However, he suffered a surprising defeat after four victories against the Iranian Mohammad Ali Khojastepour and thus only won the bronze medal.Huseyin had reached the zenith of his performance at both events and won both world titles in the bantamweight division undefeated.However, he had two very bad days of competition in Rome, wrestled to a draw only once and lost two bouts and ended up in 14th place, which was not acceptable for him.
