The former Premier League footballer has seemingly given up the football pitch and decided to join his local WAW promotion alongside Paige's parents, where he is advertised for a number of their upcoming shows.

It is unknown how long Holt has been training to be a wrestler for, but he is the first Premier League footballer to ever decide to switch careers and it will be interesting to see how he does in the ring against some of the best talent that the UK has to offer.
