US-Russia Wrestling Matches in Budapest - Could they Ease Ties?
- 22 Jul 2025 1:57 PM
It is hoped that US-Russia "Wrestling for Peace" matches held in Budapest on Tuesday will ease ties between the two countries, just as US-China ping-pong diplomacy did in the 1970s, Peter Szijjarto, the foreign minister, said in a post on Facebook, noting that the freestyle matches are being organised by the Professional Wrestling League (PWL) in ten weight categories and held in the Kozma Istvan Hungarian Wrestling Academy.
President of the Russian Wrestling Federation Mikhail Mamiashvili and the executive director of USA Wrestling Rich Bender will attend the event, Szijjarto noted.
