Anthony Knox, a high school wrestler from St. John Vianney High School, won the Region 7 title in the 126-pound weight class and is now on track to potentially win his fourth New Jersey state wrestling championship. Knox, who is set to wrestle at Cornell University next season, was initially disqualified by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association due to a fight involving his father at a district match. However, a judge issued a temporary restraining order allowing Knox to continue competing.
Knox’s attorney filed a lawsuit challenging the disqualification decision, and after winning his bouts at the regional tournament, he is now a heavy favorite to win at the state championships. Despite the controversy surrounding his disqualification, Knox remains focused on his goal of becoming one of just five wrestlers in New Jersey history to win four state titles.
Knox’s determined performance on the mat has earned him applause from fans, but he has been avoiding the spotlight after his matches, declining interview requests and moving hastily to leave the arena. His sudden disappearance from the medal podium and champions photo has raised questions about his post-match behavior. Nevertheless, Knox’s wrestling skills speak for themselves, and he is poised to make a significant impact at the upcoming state championship in Atlantic City.
