At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Aliev was disqualified in his bout against Frazer Clarke due to a head-butt. As soon as the decision was announced in the ring, Aliev had denounced an injustice.^[9] Later, the supervisor certified an error in refereeing and said that there is no error on the part of Aliev, but the decision can not be modified.^{[9][10][11][12]} Aliev staged a sit-in protest for an hour,^[13][6] after punching the ringside camera operator.^[14] Both actual and former French National Olympic and Sports Committee presidents supported Aliev against what they consider being an injustice.^[10]
