“Nepali Bro” Kumar Thapa

35 year old Kumar Thapa, who has his ring name as Nepali Bro and is the current Nepal Women Wrestling Foundation (NWWF) Cruiserweight champion and title holder, has eyed Africa and has been seeking means of storming the shores of the Nigerian nation before the year runs out to deal with wrestlers in his Cruiserweight category. What gave him the confidence that he can have an easy ride professionally in Nigeria with just two years experience? Is he aware that black means power in our part of the world? He has competed among the best in his weight category from India, Pakistan, USA and Europe but then, he needs to have a rethink as Nigerian talents are great wrestlers.
