Kendo Nagasaki, a legendary figure in British wrestling, aims to become the oldest wrestler in history by returning to the ring this month. After not competing since 2008, he will celebrate his 83rd birthday with a match that marks the 60th anniversary of his debut.
In an interview with The Sun, Nagasaki expressed confidence about his age not being a barrier. He stated, “I’m as fit as a butcher’s dog... I’m not worried. Nobody can hurt me. I’m a dinosaur with teeth... Of course, some people are special... There’s not many 82-year-olds taking on a fight like me, so I am special.”
Earlier this year, he hinted at a matchup with Sanjay Bagga at LDN Wrestling and claims this match will make him the official oldest wrestler. Though billed as hailing from Asia, he is actually Englishman Peter Thornley, a renowned name from the UK’s World of Sport, alongside legends like Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks, who briefly competed in WCW as Loch Ness.
