There will also be a UK Championship match between television wrestling star Doug Williams and Jody Fleisch as well as a 20-man Rumble featuring Colchester's own pairing of Danny Blaze and teacher by day - wrestler by night Paul Tyrrell, aka Essex Bad Boy.

Dann Read, XWA Wrestling promoter , said: "Over 900 fans joined us for our last event in Colchester and this event sees even more fans from outside the UK join us as Colchester becomes a capital for wrestling events in the UK."
