Career

Under the coach Saidpasche Umachanow and Dschambulat Tedejew , the Russian national coach of freestyle wrestlers, he developed from 2000 to a world class wrestler in freestyle wrestling.

In the weight class up to 50 kg body weight, he only had to admit defeat to the Georgian Amiran Elbakidze. In 2002 he also competed in a junior championship. In Tirana he finally succeeded in winning the European Junior Championships in bantamweight ahead of Besarion Gochashvili from Georgia and Salih Prizreni from Albania .

In 2003 Mawlet Batirow got the chance to become world champion in the senior bantamweight division. In New York he met US co-favorite Stephen Abas in the first round , against whom he lost on points. According to the rules of the time, a victory in his next fight over the strong Namig Abdullajew from Azerbaijan did not help him much. He was eliminated and only finished 14th.

After becoming the Russian bantamweight champion in 2004, he was trusted by the Russian Federation at the Olympic Games in Athens .

Alan Dudayev remained in the following years the main competitor of Mawlet Batirow in the featherweight division, who took 1st place at the important Ivan Yarigin tournament in Krasnoyarsk in 2006 and was then used at the European Championships that year in Moscow . He won four fights there and became European featherweight champion with a victory in the final over the Turks Tevfik Odabasi . As a favorite, he went to the 2006 World Cup in Guangzhou / China , but had to accept a surprising loss of points in the semifinals from the American Mike Zadick and therefore only came in 3rd place.

At the 2007 World Cup in Baku , however, he achieved great success again. He defeated, among others, Wassyl Fedoryschyn from Ukraine and Tevfik Odabasi and came in the final battle to a safe point victory over Anatoli Guidea from Bulgaria .

At the European Championships in Tampere in 2008 Mawlet Batirow left his brother Adam priority in his weight class .
