Nigeria’s Osita Offor, aka De Ultimate Commander, will be defending his heavyweight wrestling title against United States’ Bobby Lashley on December 6 in Lagos.

Addressing a news conference ahead of the fight in Lagos on Saturday, the promoter of the event Arinze Aghaeliaku said the event would feature singers Tuface Idibia and Omawumi.

Both musicians, scheduled to perform at intervals during the fight, are packaged under the Aghalieaku Entertainment in collaboration with popular showbiz impresario Tee Mac Itseli.

Aghaeliaku said apart from thrilling wrestling fans with the bouts, the event would also be used to exhibit Nigerian arts and culture to guests from different parts of the world.

The promoter, who declined to reveal the amount involved in bankrolling the event, said what was important was to provide an opportunity for the Nigerian wrestler to defend his title before his countrymen.

“I can tell you that I am using the show to portray the good side of Nigeria to the world at large. It is not about associating Nigeria with crimes but about cultural re-awakening, which the fight is meant to project,” Aghaeliaku said.

Secretary of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation Ralph Nwofor said a high tech 2011 19X19 metre World Wrestling Federation-approved ring was already on its way to Nigeria for the event.

Wrestlers expected to feature in the tag team fights include Marty Wright, Anthony Mayweather, Cliff Treiber and Troy Martin (The Franchise Shane Douglas).

Others are Jason Adams, Ghana’s David Njo Matike, Jay Batista and Eric Milford, Sione Vailahi (the Barbarian), Junior Fatu (Rikishi) and Kevin Sullivan.

On his readiness for the fight, De Ultimate Commander said, “I have never lost any fight so it is going to be a great motivation for me to have defend my title before fellow Nigerians.”
