European Championships winner Aleksandar Kukolj of Serbia leads the U90kg category into action in Budapest as the world number one. The 25-year-old lost to eventual champion Baker Bashu (JPN) in his second contest at the Rio Olympics but has strung together two Grand Slam wins since then including a sublime showing in Tokyo in December.
Kukolj was narrowly beaten by European bronze medallist Khusen Khalmurzaev (RUS) in the Hohhot Grand Prix final last time out but has all the drive and determination to see of Russian opposition and all comers in Hungary.
The Belgrade judoka became Serbia’s first European judo champion in April and wants to do etch his name once again into history books as the first world champion from the Balkan nation.
