At the 2020 Summer Olympics, Otoguro claimed the gold medal after beating the likes of defending World Champion Gadzhimurad Rashidov and three-time World Champion Haji Aliyev. A Cadet World Champion, Otoguro first broke into the senior scene when he went undefeated (16–0) in 2018, claiming the world championship and the national championship at age 19. He then went on to become a two–time Asian Continental Champion (claiming titles in 2020 and 2021).
