Adebyo Akinfenwa has become the toughest football icon in the world. His thick physique is estimated at 102 kilograms, causing a sensation wherever he goes.

In four years, he turned unemployed to get praise from Jurgen Klopp. At Wycombe Wanderers, where he joined in 2016 from AFC Wimbledon, he was a legend.

He made 250 appearances for Wycombe, winning two promotions - from the Fourth Division to the Second Division - scored 60 goals and provided 40 assists before hanging up shoes last summer.

Akinfenwa, a huge Liverpool fan, is now facing a new challenge. Former Barry Town player Lehton Orient, Doncaster Rovers, Swansea City and Millwall are turning to wrestling. In fact, he plans to make his wrestling debut next week.

"I've always been asked when I'm about to retire, what I want to do and the answer is always a new experience. I'm lucky enough to do things I've been like for 22 years, but it's a profession. When you retire, it's just freedom and experience," he said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

It has always been a background because of my love of wrestling. I've known [English professional wrestler] Anthony Ogogo for years. We met each other when he was a boxer and kept in touch and wrestling never went away. "

"Unfortunately he can't box anymore and he finds that love with wrestling and he hits me and says: "Listen, you want to try it?"

'When you find something you're enjoying, it makes it a little easier. But then his mindset is trying new things and if it works, it will work. I enjoyed it, I enjoyed the practice, I enjoyed it intense."
