Competing in the -68kg category, Jorquera secured a diploma after reaching the quarter-finals. His tournament highlight was a convincing 2-0 victory over the reigning European champion, Ilia Danilov from Russia, showcasing his top-tier form ahead of the continental event in Germany this May.

The Catalan fighter eventually fell to Zaid Kareem of Jordan, the Paris Olympics silver medalist, in a closely contested match. Despite missing out on a medal, the points earned in Bulgaria are crucial for his standing in the world and European rankings.
