Senegalese wrestler Sa Thiès wants to organise a four-man tournament next season to crown the King of the Arenas, with Boy Niang, Franc and Reug Reug. He also proposes opening two places to experienced wrestlers; the idea remains a project, expressed in an interview with Fadam 2 carried by Wiwsport.
Sa Thiès, a Senegalese wrestler, has proposed organising a four-man tournament to decide the King of the Arenas after his bout against Siteu, scheduled for 3 January 2027. He wants to take part alongside Boy Niang, Franc and Reug Reug, according to an interview he gave to Fadam 2 and which was carried by Wiwsport.
The champion is also considering allocating two places to experienced wrestlers such as Modou Lô, Tapha Tine and Eumeu Sène. According to Sa Thiès, bringing together several generations in this format would help restore Senegalese wrestling to its former glory. For now, the project remains a personal proposal, while his next sporting objective remains his fight against Siteu.
The proposal comes after the failure of the face-to-face meeting between Siteu and Sa Thiès on 19 October, and as Sa Thiès had been threatened with sanctions after his absence in Paris on 18 October.
