TEHRAN - Iranian super heavyweight weightlifter Alireza Yousefi underwent knee surgery in Tehran on Sunday.

The weightlifter had a torn ligament and meniscus in his right knee.

The surgery will keep him six months out.

He will miss the 2025 senior Asian Weightlifting Championships, which will be held in Jiangshan, China from May 9 to 15.
