The
stage is set for the much anticipated wrestling duel between Nigeria’s
Power Uti and Super Festus of the United States of America. The
American arrived Lagos at the weekend for the fight.

The fight, which
comes up in Lagos on Friday, March 18, will see Uti placing his
Continental Wrestling Alliance (CWA) heavyweight title on the line.

And if events that
transpired at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos are
anything to go by, then wrestling fans are in for an unforgettable show
come Friday night.

Uti was part of the
entourage at the airport to welcome, not only the American to Nigeria,
but also Andre Pamphile, the president of the Continental Wrestling
Alliance.

Festus, however,
created a scene at the airport when he charged towards Uti inside the
arrival lounge, grabbing the continental champion by the neck.

Uti somehow got
away from the American and retaliated with some punches before Pamphile
and other onlookers at the airport stepped in to stop both wrestlers
from starting the eagerly anticipated duel at the airport.

“I am not here to joke,” an enraged Festus said. “I am serious with my ambition of taking this belt from Power Uti.

“I will teach him a lesson before his people.”

For his part, Uti, who has held the CWA title for over a decade, and who has never tasted defeat on home soil, remained calm.

“I am ready for this fight and I will give all within me to win,” said the Nigerian.

“This is my country and no one will come here to take this belt from me.”
