*‘’THE WON NATIONAL PRO WRESTLING HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE IS WELL DESERVED’’– DE MIGHTY MAN*

A champion is a person who has surpassed all rivals in a sporting contest or other competition. A champion is also a winner, or someone who's really good at something and that is who De Mighty Man is now. Mighty Man, whose real name is Happy Okolo, has become the Nigeria Pro Wrestling Federation (NPWF) national heavyweight champion and title holder. For a while, he has been eyeing the federation’s Heavyweight title and the mission has now been accomplished.

I strong and well set for other local, continental and even international championships. I am the strongest African pro wrestler in the heavyweight category and I can prove that,’’ Mighty Man explained.
