Chandigarh 08th February:The inaugural match of Champion's Pro Kushti between international wrestlers Sangram Singh and Robbie E proved to be an epic battle as expected, with Sangram Singh emerging as the winner with final score of 17-6. The match ended in round 5 with Sangram knocking out his opponent. Held at International Hockey Stadium, Mohali, the match saw Sangram Singh and Robbie E fight it out in a battle of gigantic proportions where brain and brawn came handy in equal measure as the two international wrestlers tried to outwit and outmuscle each other. The inaugural match was a precursor to what Champion's Pro Kushti promises to deliver in coming times.
The match between Sangram Singh and Robbie E remained true to its billing of 'Kushti for a Cause'" as the organisers donated Rs 51,000 to Khushboo fund managed by Fortis hospital to lend a helping hand to needy patients. Champion's Pro Kushti has taken it upon itself to support various social causes and help the needy in times to come.
After the match, Champion's Pro Kushti founder Sangram Singh said that he is thrilled by the encouragement and support we received today from the people of Mohali. It was an honour to play in front of them. We have launched Champion's Pro Kushti to revive the passion for the game of wrestling in India, the country where it actually originated. Wrestling has its roots in the ancient Indian martial art of 'mallayuddha'. He added that we are looking to promote Indian wrestling, or 'kushti', especially in Tier-II towns and beyond, where the country's most promising talent is simply waiting to be tapped. We want to make India the Number 1 wrestling nation, for which we need to do things differently. Champion's Pro Kushti is set to bring that difference.
Champion's Pro Kushti co-founder Janardan Pandey said that today's match marks the first step in their effort to develop India as the world's best wrestling nation. He said that he is sure today's match will inspire many youngsters to take up wrestling and emulate Sangram Singh. Through Champion's Pro Kushti, we will give aspiring wrestlers a platform to hone and showcase their wrestling skills. We will equip our wrestlers with the right combination of traditional 'mallayuddha' and modern grappling techniques.
Elaborating on the future plans of Champion's Pro Kushti, Janardan Pandey said that we will open training and competition centres at 10 locations across the country in the next two years, covering Tier II and III towns as well as villages. We have decided on seven of them, including Chandigarh, Gurgaon, Kanpur, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Mangalore and Kolkata, and are in the process of finalising the other three. We will spot and adopt promising wrestlers, provide them the best of trainers and training.
