BIOGRAPHY

An All Japanese winner at 120kg and 125 kg, and a former martial arts MVP in Japan, Great-O-Khan is in the very elite of amateur wrestling competitors. 

After dominating the UK scene on excursion from 2018, Great-O-Khan made a shocking first appearance in NJPW on October 16 2020, when he helped Will Ospreay to victory over Kazuchika Okada and formed the faction known as United Empire. Vowing to dominate the landscape in NJPW, he secured his first championship alongside Jeff Cobb, winning the IWGP tag team Championships twice in 2022, albeit for brief reigns. 

In 2023, O-Khan dealt with frustration at home and overseas. In Japan, a loss to Shingo Takagi for the KOPW title in January, in O-Khan’s own specialty of an MMA rules match, hurt the Dominator. O-Khan continued to struggle down the stretch, with a disappointing negative G1 W:L record. Meanwhile, in the UK he would become Undisputed British heavyweight Champion, but his reign would be ended at the hands of Michael Oku, a loss that also heralded the end of a near five year undefeated streak in the country. Badly needing to bounce back, he would challenge Shingo Takagi to a singles bout in Kobe September 24.
