Thirty weight categories in three styles will be contested over seven days of competition. The Individual World Cup is serving as a substitute event for the 2020 World Championships. The event was canceled after not fulfilling the criteria set forth by the UWW Bureau. The criteria included having at least 8 of 10 of the top nations from the 2019 World Championships and 70% of total athletes participate in 2020. The Individual World Cup represents international wrestling's return to competition and will lay the groundwork for safety protocols and countermeasures around all competitions. This will be vital to ensure a safe environment for future competitions in the lead up to the Tokyo Olympics. The event has a prize pool of 300,000 Swiss Francs, which will be divided evenly across the 30 weight categories. Thirty-one returning world medalists, including five returning world champions, are entered in the field.

DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=211716082 Burroughs Rallies to Defeat Chamizo at Beat the Streets New York City - Olympic and World Champion Jordan Burroughs battled back from an early 4-0 deficit with a second-period scoring barrage to take out two-time World Champion Frank Chamizo of Italy, 6-5, on Thursday at Beat the Streets New York. Chamizo scored first with a pair of takedowns to take a 4-0 lead. Burroughs got on the board with a takedown of his own to cut the deficit to just two at the break. Chamizo scored a step-out point early in the second period, but Burroughs responded with a takedown with just less than a minute left in the match to cut the deficit to 5-4. He went up 6-5 with a double-leg takedown and held on for the win. The "Super Match" was contested at 74 kg/163 pounds. The match came to be as a result of a social media exchange between the two world champions after a match in the NCAA wrestling season featured top-ranked Seth Gross of South Dakota State moving up a weight class to face top-ranked Bryce Meredith of Wyoming in a dual meet in January. Burroughs was the 2017 UWW World Champion at 74 kg/163 pounds, while Chamizo won the 70 kg/154 pounds weight class at the World Championships.
