The former Canaries striker will head to the ring as part of the World Association of Wrestling (WAW) 'Do they know it's Christmas?' event.

The 37-year-old has already had a taste of success after winning the WAW 40-man rumble earlier this year, but this time he will be taking to the ring solo to face Brad O'Brien.

Mr Holt said: 'I used to watch wrestling when I was younger, then I got the opportunity to be involved in a massive show.

'My opponent is a fantastic wrestler, he's got some fantastic moves that he pulls out of from nowhere, you have to very vigilant about where you are in the ring.
