Golden Boy set to train 25 or more Togolese athletes professionally in 6 months
Golden Wrestling Federacy (GWF), an international professional Wrestling organization based in Florida, USA was founded in the year 2018 under the auspices of a Dentist and a legendary pro wrestler of over three decades, Dr. James McDowell who is the CEO and the President of the international body with the sole aim of pulling together worldwide groups and connecting objectives to further actualize professional Wrestling development in various African countries, as well as underdeveloped nations of the world has now focused on pro wrestling development in Africa.
A Federacy is a group of states with a central government but independence in internal affairs; a federation can also be analyzed as a state being joined by a treaty. Golden Wrestling Federacy as an organization has started manifesting the plans he has for Africa gradually by coming to Africa to feature “The Golden Boy” Dr James McDowell at the Battleground 2023 Pro Wrestling Championship held at Yaoundé, Cameroon on the 22nd, of July 2023.
Apart from representing and competing as an American wrestler under the approval of the AIWF management, He was able to support funding of two championship billboards in Yaoundé Cameroon during the July pro wrestling contest; as a medical practitioner, he donated 12 Doctor Scrub tops and 10 bio-hazardous lab jackets to Yaoundé General Hospital, as those would be very useful to the health sector practitioners in the central African nation and also serve as a goodwill gesture to the Medical Professionals who sacrifice so much of their time, effort and knowledge for the Health being of all in Cameroon.
As if that was not enough, he felt that constant Seminars will Help Promote Professional Wrestling continentally Africa, so the Golden Boy organized a training seminar which brought Central Africa and the other African pro wrestling stakeholders together in Yaoundé, Cameroon who are professional wrestlers, trainers, trainees, managers, referees, bookers and promoters on Thursday afternoon on the 20th July 2023 at the Fido International Hotel Hall, Yaoundé, Cameroon where professional knowledge was impacted.
Just like he did in Yaoundé, Cameroon, ‘Golden Boy’ who is a seasoned trainer and seminar organizer would be making history with an epic true beginning of professional wrestling in Togo, where he would be training about twenty-five or thereabout Togolese athletes in Lome where he and his partner trainer would be available for a three days Professional wrestling training/clinic school under the Golden Wrestling Academy that will hold in Lome, Togo in 6 months.
The Golden Boy and another pro wrestling talent will storm Togo for timely training. “I am set and prepared for this timely project. I know that the training will need me and another great trainer from the US. I see raw talents in so many youths on the African continent. My visit to Cameroon for a week was an opener that if we create time to twist those talents, they will end up becoming world champions. Yes, we genuinely need to go for this assignment to start that country on the right path” Big Jim as he was called in Cameroon by some fans explained.
Running this kind of project for free costs lots of money from return tickets of two great trainers from the USA to lodging, feeding and local transportation but as the giver who he is, he is only looking at the end means of the project intending to raise world pro wrestling champions for Togo as a nation.
The training would be part of his lineup schedules in Africa where he hopes to support the mat game in his ways. He would talk about the non-technical aspects of pro wrestling which are personal, dresses, attire, development of character and so on. He also promised to issue certificates of training participation to trainees after the session.
Can we then say charity begins at home for the “Golden Boy” Jimmy McDowell who has the heritage of Benin Republic & Togo both in West Africa as his lineage? The world-talented grappler by day runs his dental office while by night, he runs circles around his opponents in the wrestling ring dealing with them squarely.
He is the current heavyweight champion of the AIWF Golden Age. He has been privileged to compete over the years with world-talented and internationally rated superstars like Buff Bagwell, The Barbarian, The Warlord (both of The Powers of Pain tag team), Super Crazy, The Nature Boy Paul Lee, Chic Donovan, Pablo Marquez, Mo, Twin Towers and so on.
