The 35-year-old hoped to become professional boxing’s next big star after winning a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics.
However, his 12-1 career was marred by injuries and he ultimately left boxing in 2019 after spending three years trying to recover from an eye problem.
Despite being 78% blind in his left eye, Ogogo has become a successful actor, podcaster, and professional wrestler since he stopped fighting.
“I still have goals I want to achieve in the wrestling world,” he told talkSPORT.com in February.

“I’m with AEW in America and trying to get back with them.
“I’ve been out of favor for a while. I’m currently in India, wrestling around the world and reminding them of what they have on their list.
“AEW returns to Wembley Stadium in August. I really want to be on the map. I can’t wait to wrestle again for AEW in London.
A few months later, “The Guv’nor” appears to be back in favor with AEW and about to begin a storyline that could culminate in a massive fight at the England National Stadium this summer.
Ogogo continues to prove that there is life after boxing as his wrestling career continues to go from strength to strength.
