Nigerian wrestlers head to Belgium to take advantage of international partnership
"Taking African Pro Wrestling to the next level is a huge task but it’s worth it" - Olukoya
Olusesan Olukoya is a prominent figure in African Professional wrestling, serving as the Secretary General of Pro Wrestling Africa (PWA), Director of Publicity for the Nigeria Pro Wrestling Federation and the Executive Director at the Pro Wrestling Afrik Promotions Ltd, a registered company promoting professional wrestling in Nigeria and beyond. In an online interview from Brussels in Belgium, he has raised his voice to state that taking African pro wrestling to the next level is a huge task considering all that is involved in the process but it’s really worth it.
Olukoya who is also the Chief Operation Officer (COO) and a board member at the Golden Wrestling Federacy (GWF) based in Florida, USA under the auspices of Dr. Jim McDowell, the Golden Boy, is currently in Brussels to get his African talents trained with the Brussels Young Wrestling Style (BYWS) team who are the rave of the moment in Europe.
"I am very excited to bring African talents to Brussels to learn more under the auspices of the African legend Shaolin, master Nsimba Bafuka who heads the BYWS and the Belgium Pro Wrestling Federation. He really devoted his time to get the wrestlers trained during this tour and this is well appreciated," he explained.
"With my close to four decades of experience in the professional wrestling sport since 1989 where I have made significant contributions as a manager, columnist, publisher, crusader, historian, activist and a promoter, I was also able to learn new things as an administrator and manager," he concluded.
Olukoya has also been instrumental in promoting pro wrestling in Africa through his work as a writer, promoter, administrator and executive.
Shaolin, the head trainer and coordinator, has promised to support the progressive works of Pro Wrestling Africa (PWA) in taking pro wrestling championships to greater heights in Nigeria and the African continent with constant training of African talents in Belgium.
