African Wrestling Champion Eyes World Title

African wrestling champion Stephen Nesabageiyi has declared that he is ready to contest a world title.

Nesabageiyi told Xinhua on Thursday that he would embark on a four-month training tour in the United States, citing lack of facilities in home country.

Last April, the Nigerian defeated Usa Bin of Congo Republic in Lagos to become the African champion.

Nesabageiyi, who's also the vice president of the Nigeria Professional Wrestling Federation, expressed the body's readiness to further promote wrestling in Nigeria and the world.
