Ever since J'den Cox won his second world title at 92kg in September, the wrestling community has debated whether he would move to 86kg or 97kg for the Olympic year. Cox has kept his weight class decision to himself, but he slated to compete next week in Cuba.

In an enigmatic press release, Cox is listed as either an 86kg or 97kg registrant for next week's competition. If he decides to wrestle 86kg, we could see another chapter in the David Taylor vs J'den Cox rivalry. If he ends up at 97kg, we could see him face a high-school and college rival in Kyle Snyder.

Check out Team USA's full lineup in Taylor Miller's press release for USA Wrestling below.

Next week, 24 American men’s freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers will compete at the Granma Cup and Cerro Pelado in Havana, Cuba.

The Granma Cup, which is the Greco-Roman portion of the tournament, is set for Feb. 11-12, while the Cerro Pelado, which will feature men’s freestyle action, will take place Feb. 15-16.

Heading up the men’s freestyle squad is J’den Cox, two-time World champion and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist. Cox, who won his World titles at 92 kg, has not yet announced whether he will be competing at 86 kg or 97 kg in Cuba.

Leading the Greco-Roman delegation is 2016 Olympian and four-time Senior World Team member Robby Smith, who will compete at 130 kg, as well as 2019 Junior World bronze medalist and 2019 U23 World Team member Peyton Omania, who will wrestle at 67 kg.

USA Wrestling will report as results are made available. There will NOT be a live stream of the event.
