Professional wrestlers from Nigeria and some other African countries including Egypt, Cameroon, DR Congo, and Angola are expected to participate in the Nigeria Professional Wrestling Federation (NPWF) National Unity Wrestling Championship scheduled for Molade Okoya Indoor Sports Hall, Teslim Balogun Stadium on Sunday 21st November 2021.

While announcing the activities line up to commemorate the federation’s 40th year anniversary in Lagos, NPWF President John O Uche disclosed that the event is being organized to announce the revival and arrival of the professional Wrestling Championship in Nigeria.

“Professional Wrestling was the first sport in Nigeria to be well accepted and to reach the limelight but it was unfortunate that it went into extinction over the years due to bad management and neglect from government and we are now resuscitating it,” Uche said.
