The 25-year-old will be bidding to retain his title in a six-man field, which includes multiple-time world and Olympic medallist Jakub Vadlejch and two-time world champion Anderson Peters.

He also claimed an unprecedented gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, bettering his silver medal from last year.
