Wrestling: Togo training, pay back to Africa, says Golden Boy

President of Golden wrestling Federacy, Dr. Jim McDowell whose ring name is The Golden Boy has described his decision to organise professional wrestling clinic in Togo next year as a pay back to Africa, the motherland which he said is his root.
Speaking on the training, he said,
‘’I have Africa as my origin. I have my heritage in Benin Republic and Togo both in West Africa.
“My fore fathers hail from those two great nations. It is payback time now to Africa as I have made impact in the world of wrestling in USA where I am based.
“I saw lots of raw talents in Douala and Yaounde both in Cameroon in Central Africa where I was in July 2023 for a week and I know same athletes are in West Africa as well so my charity must begin at home.
“If I have decided to run a free one week pro- wrestling training in February 2024 for the African talents who are interested in becoming professional wrestlers, then I am on the right track and in the right direction since it is payback time to my source’’ explained “The Golden Boy” Dr. Jim McDowell.
Speaking on Golden Boy’s decision to organise a training in West African sub- region, the Chief Operating Officer of the body, Nigerian Sesan Olukoya described him as a talented and seasoned actor, producer, director, professional wrestler of over three decades and a dentist of appreciable repute in Florida, USA.
” Golden Boy is a man of many parts, a film actor, producer and Dentist by day and professional wrestler at night! Some call him “Jim of all trade and master of all” and I want to also believe in that saying based on his exploits.
“His pro -wrestling career has spanned over thirty years and it baffles me how he manages as a Dentist and also compete favourable as a professional wrestling talent, actor and producer mostly in Florida where he is based and around the United States of America whenever there are events which has been constant for a while now.
“It is of paramount importance to payback. Giving back to society means contributing to the well-being and improvement of the community where we hailed from or in which one lives.
“This can take many forms, such as volunteering, philanthropy or working to address social issues through activism or advocacy and even through sports promotion as Jim is embarking on now. It is often driven by a belief in civic responsibility and a desire to make a positive impact on the world.
“As human beings, we innately realize the importance of giving back to society, because it fulfills our deepest human needs. Growth is one of those needs. Volunteering also fulfills our needs for contribution and significance, making us feel needed, unique and helpful’’ Golden Boy expatiated.
