What is CADC?
Confederation Africaine De Catch is the official governing body of professional wrestling in Africa recognised by Federal Government.
The history of CADC is deeply rooted in combat and heritage, dating back hundreds of years.
It is made up of 18 member states representing countries across the African continent. Each member state operates a district league to determine who will compete in the Super League. The winner of the Super League is the number one contender for the CADC World Heavyweight Championship and presents themselves as the ‘champion of champions’. The CADC is the top title in Africa.
The CADC World Heavyweight Championship is said to be adorned with precious and semi-precious gemstones sourced from Africa’s most rarest mining facilities. Alongside them feature the great animals of Africa which symbolise deep significant meaning as explained by CADC Governing Body Secretary General. “A single elephant can make the forest shake to its very roots.” This is Yoruba saying from Nigeria and notes the elephant is without equal and beyond measure. “The elephant never tires carrying its tusks.” Is a Duala proverb from Cameroon referring to responsibility and that “Every rhinoceros is proud of its horn.” This Is a well-known proverb in African culture. The Giraffe teaches us to always raise your head high and see with vision. Giraffe’s with their long necks reach for the best leaves. If you reach where no one else can, you will eat like no one else can.
Having the opportunity to see this belt in person is an experience alone and the contest coming to Scotland makes this a once in a lifetime opportunity.
