Leeor gets to grips at Wrestling World Championships
British-Israeli, who fights as "The Chutzpah", reached the quarter-finals at tournament held in Ipswich
Leeor Brooks reached the last eight of the Pro Wrestling World Cup at the weekend.
The British-Israeli, who represented Israel, fights as “The Chutzpah” Lior Ben-David, and was beaten in the quarter-finals by Northern Ireland’s Alexander Hyde at the event, which was held in Ipswich.
The 28-year-old, who’s based in Stanmore, said: “I did well and the fans showed a lot of support – for me it was a pleasant surprise as I’m used to being booed out of the venue!”
He’ll be taking part in tournaments across Europe later this year, his next one scheduled for next month.
