I am due for pro wrestling training in Europe-De Hardman

“I know that I am due for international training having been
competing and training in Nigeria in the last five years. I
was part of the training crew that trained the Togolese
talents in March 2024 for three days. The hard way is the
only way and I am quite aware of this. I need to compete
among the who is who in the pro wrestling industry and to
achieve that, I need the timely training international as I
need to gain diverse training philosophies, experience
different wrestling styles, and potentially gain exposure to
larger wrestling markets and different fan bases which I
cannot get in Nigeria” explained De Hardman.

Talented and lion-hearted De Hardman, a Pro Wrestling Africa
(PWA) wrestler in the middle weight category who is very
stylish is a young wrestler of note who is fast earning
himself a reputation for making life miserable for his
numerous opponents around the Nigerian wrestling scene and
beyond is focused on training and competing internationally
among the best in the world.

Born on the 2nd of May, 1999, 26-year-old De Hardman, whose
real name is Tochukwu Johnson, hails from Okpulumuobu,
Osisioma Ngwa Local government area of Abia State in the
Eastern part of Nigeria. He was nurtured by the legendary
Jimmy Palm “The African Dream” who trained him to stardom
and he was inspired into joining the league of Nigerian pro
wrestlers after the training as he was introduced to Jimmy
Palm who also runs the African Wrestling Organization (AWO)
who trained him to a standard any wrestler can dream of
after years of trying to figure out how to break into the
grunt and groan mat sport.

‘’Wrestling is my passion. I dream wrestling, sleep
wrestling and eat wrestling. I have been watching
professional wrestling from childhood and I have many
wrestlers as role models over the years but currently, Roman
Reigns stands out as my best wrestler. I have focus to be
trained by Kim Tinning of the Danski Pro Wrestling (Denmark
Pro Wrestling) based in Denmark. He is the best in Europe to
the best of my knowledge. I hope to be with him during the
Summer training course in July 2025.

De Hardman, who would like to be trained and compete
internationally is not relenting at all as he has been
training hard to showcase himself that what those
international talents can do, he can indeed do better when
he gets down to the midst of the roughest and toughest
talents in the mat sport with modern training facilities and
gadgets at his disposal internationally based on the
experience he has acquired back home in Nigeria.
