The fighter will return to the -80kg Olympic division for the year-ending Grand Prix, where he could face fellow Briton Aaron Cook - the man he was controversially selected ahead of for London 2012.
The taekwondo ace, who hails from Dorchester, beat former Great Britain fighter Craig Brown and Venezuelan Carlos Rivas (16-2 in the final) on his way to capturing the crown and with it, a further 10 points towards his world ranking.
