Posted on by Joseph Currier

AEW wrestler Anthony Ogogo now has an opponent for his Bloodsport debut.

Ogogo vs. UK Indie wrestler Brett Semtex has been added to the card for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport: London, which will take place this Sunday. For both competitors, it’s their Bloodsport and Game Changer Wrestling debuts.

The show is taking place at the Electric Ballroom in London and will air on TrillerTV+.

Though it’s been more than a year since Ogogo last wrestled for AEW, he is still listed on the company’s roster page and sent out a tweet last weekend promoting AEW’s All Out pay-per-view. He is a former boxer who represented England in the 2012 Olympics.

Five matches have now been announced for Bloodsport: London, with the card mostly featuring talent from the UK.
