For us, both are winners 🇮🇱 🇸🇦 pic.twitter.com/5q0lWBmUIj — StandWithUs (@StandWithUs) — StandWithUs (@StandWithUs) July 30, 2021Algerian fighter Fethi Nourine was the first to quit after the competition draw meant he would have been forced to fight Israeli Tohar Butbul on his way to the medals. Nourine was first due to fight Mohamed Abdalrasool of Sudan, with the winner of that fight guaranteed to face Butbul because of the way the seeing system works. His withdrawal meant Abdalrasool progressed automatically to fight Butbul, but then he also withdrew from the contest. Hershko won the bout by ippon - the judo equivalent of a knockout blow - after just one minute and 44 seconds. The pair bowed to one-another after the bout, before Hershko advanced across the ring and the two fighters shook hands.
