EIGHT wrestlers are set to compete in what is being billed as “Warwickshi­re and Leicesters­hire’s biggest ever one-night tournament”.

Four qualifying matches will take place, with the winners of each match advancing into the main event, four-way ladder match.

The winner of this match will receive a contract which will entitle them to a championsh­ip match at any time of their choosing.

Fear of Falling will feature county wrestler Jason Joshua.

Other competitor­s include “The sovereign of safety” Samuel Best, fan favourite White Tiger, “The People’s Captain” Steve Valentino, previous champion Killian Jacobs, Joey “The Hot Shot” Scott, The

Judge and rising star Alex Chambers.

Also on the card will be the county’s first inter-gender championsh­ip match where women’s super athlete Dominita will face off against current champion Christophe­r Drew.

Dominita earned this championsh­ip match after defeating 19 other competitor­s during a royal rumble in December, including wrestlers from Japan and Malta.

Tickets for the event, on February 8 at Hastings High School, St Catherine’s Close, Burbage, are available from £6.99.

Doors open at 5.45pm and the show starts at 6.30pm.
