British Boxer Anthony Ogogo will be making his professional wrestling debut for the Knight family owned World Association of Wrestling promotion (WAW) in May. The Olympic medallist will be teaming alongside brothers of WWE Superstar Paige; The UK Hooligans and Ricky Knight Jr at EPIC Studios in Norwich, England.
Self confessed wrestling superfan Ogogo is one of the stars of British Boxing, he holds a professional record of 11 wins and 1 loss. Ogogo also saw mainstream success as a cast member of the BBC’s answer to Dancing With The Stars: Strictly Come Dancing, so this is potentially a major mainstream story for WAW in the United Kingdom.
Ogogo appeared in an in-ring segment for the company back in February where he entered the ring and hit a Rock Bottom and Five Star Frog Splash to assist the UK Hooligans, you can check out the footage below:
