    CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY -- United World Wrestling has opened an investigation into irregularities surrounding the first-round match between Ali Reza Karimi (Iran) and Alikhan Zhabrailov (Russia) at the U23 World Championships in Poland. As reported in several news outlets it's believed that Karimi was directed by his coaches to lose the match in avoidance of a potential second-round opponent.

    United World Wrestling's Legal and Ethics Committees will review all the facts and in the coming weeks submit their recommendations to the UWW Bureau.
