“Keegan’s the toughest of the three, and I’ll say that for sure—he’s the toughest of the three. He’s probably the strongest of the three too. He’s insanely strong at the weight that he’s at; like, he’ll, like, lift in my group sometimes—and I’m a 145, he’s 106—it’s crazy," Bo said. (30:54 onwards)

The young wrestler further added,

"And I’m not weak, you know. And yeah, he’s really strong, he’s really tough, and I think that Keegan has probably the highest roof. I think that he has the most potential in front of him. You know, he’s the youngest. He’s learning to go through experiences probably before he will himself."

Bo Bassett had won the gold medal at the U17 World Championships in 2021, followed by a bronze medal at the U20 World Championships last year. He has committed himself to the Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling team for the upcoming season.
