Arsen Harutyunyan Set to Face Caleb Smith at RAF 10 Following Opponent Withdrawal
Armenian Olympic wrestler Arsen Harutyunyan will now compete against NCAA All-American Caleb Smith at the upcoming RAF 10 event on June 13, following the withdrawal of Japan’s Rei Higuchi from the card.
Arsen Harutyunyan, a celebrated four-time European champion and world medalist, is poised to make his debut in Real American Freestyle (RAF) wrestling against Caleb Smith, a standout from Nebraska and an NCAA All-American.
