To reach the last eight, Ferjani successively eliminated the Turkish Enver Yildirim in the Round of 32, then the Russian Ilia Kostioukov in the Round of 16. He then continued his run by defeating the American William Morrill in the Round of 16, before taking on the South Korean Do Gyeong-dong in the Quarterfinals.
His run ultimately ended at the semifinal stage, but he nonetheless climbed onto the third step of the podium.
