Anthony Ogogo is slated to work his biggest match to date in his tenure with All Elite Wrestling thus far, but will have to do so with a broken rib.
The wrestler will take on Cody Rhodes in a singles match at this Sunday’s Double Or Nothing pay-per-view from Jacksonville, Florida at Daily’s Place.
The former Olympic boxer shared in an interview with the Metro.uk that he suffered the injury while practicing a standing elbow drop during training this week.
“I’m sitting here now – I’m very, very open and honest, probably too open and honest… But I am who I am, I do what I do. I’ve got a broken rib right now. My rib’s broken because I did a move in training this week. I did it wrong, and I broke a rib. I’m now wrestling Cody, the best wrestler in the world, with a broken rib… And that’s real, that’s not me just saying that. My rib is f***ed.”
It should be noted that Ogogo did box in the Olympics with a broken rib. He also dealt with dislocated shoulders and a fractured eye socket while boxing. It turns out that he only has 22% vision in his left eye.
With everything mentioned above, it’s clear that he is a tough guy and will gut it out when he steps into the squared circle this weekend.
