HIS WORDS

“My parents, Godmothers, siblings and every other person I interacted with in life contributed to who I am today.

“My day starts around 7.30-8am, five days a week. I spend at least two hours in the gym, lifting weights and doing cardiovascular training. “Wrestling has a huge following in this country, entertaining over 10 000 to 20 000 fans per match. It remains a family orientated sport with a high entertainment value and thrill; women and children are sometimes caught on camera jumping off their seats, singing and occasionally swearing at the opposition.

“I want to stage exciting wrestling tournaments as an annual event in various countries – with some of the world’s most renowned wrestling superstars – to motivate the youth to be health conscious; I want to create a footprint – a role model for future generations globally.”
