Italy’s 2019 world champion Simone Alessio won the men’s under-80 kilograms gold while Spanish teenager Adriana Cerezo Iglesias triumphed in the women’s under-49kg.

In the men’s under-80kg category, Alessio took an early lead with a gam-jeom against two-time Olympic bronze medallist Seif Eissa of Egypt before the latter hit back to make it 1-1.

A head kick gave Alessio a 4-1 lead soon after and held on to take the round.

The home favourite scored in the second round with a trademark head kick to make it 3-3 and with less than 10 seconds to go, Eissa was judged to push Alessio to the ground that helped Alessio win the round and the match.

The women’s under-49kg saw Spain’s Adriana Cerezo Iglesias take on Croatia’s Bruna Duvancic.

Iglesias, with a series of kicks to the body, raced to a 4-0 lead.

While Duvancic fought back with two gam-jeoms, Iglesias took the first round 6-2.

A tight second round saw Iglesias break the deadlock with a back kick that earned her a 2-0 lead.

However, her Croatian opponent’s body kick allowed her to level at 2-2, but it was not enough as Iglesias won the round and the match.
