[Libya Observer] Libyan Karate fighter Adel Amin refused on Thursday to face his Israeli opponent Ahmed Abu Bassal in the Kumite 84+kg competitions of the 2016 Karate World Championships.
Half of success is showing up.
The 23rd edition of the Karate World Championships is being held in the Austrian city of Linz between October 25-30.
Last year, Libyan Judoka Mohammed al-Kwaish quit the World Judo Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan to avoid facing his Israeli opponent.
