Joshua explained he has been in love with wrestling for as long as he can remember, and enjoyed watching superstars like The Rock, Goldberg, and The Undertaker. A huge fan of The Deadman, Joshua named the Hall of Famer as his dream opponent, if he could fight any international superstar.

How Chetty started in wrestling

A huge fan of wrestling, Joshua would take any opportunity he could to watch it. He would even attend local shows and help set up the ring and arena, just to be a part of the business. Having been involved in rugby and soccer as a kid, Joshua got into discus as he got older, winning many gold medals in the sport.

He started bodybuilding at the age of 14 and then got into kickboxing, before entering the world of professional wrestling at the age of 18. A face (good guy) in wrestling, The Bull employs The Spear as his finishing move.

The Bull's first wrestling match

The South African fighter will also never forget his debut in the sport when he competed at a show commemorating 150 years since the arrival of Indians in the country. The show was held on November 13, 2010, exactly five years after wrestling legend, Eddie Guerrero passed away.

Chetty on making history

Joshua has not only competed in a host of bouts, including hardcore matches, ladder matches, and a Capture the Flag Fatal 4-way match, but he has also made history in the sport. He was one-half of the WWP Tag Team champions, a title he won in Durban, to become the first Indian wrestler to hold the championship in the organisation’s history.

Chetty: Not just a wrestler

While he is an accomplished wrestler already, it’s not all that Joshua does. The 30-year-old runs the supplement shop at The Rock Gym and Wellness Center in Chatsworth and also does acting. He described wrestling as a hobby and a part-time job. It has seen him travel across the country and feature heavily on television.

'Wrestling is no easy feat'

He’s also picked up numerous injuries during his career, having bled and endured a lot of pain in the ring. He added that he does take care of his body, ensuring he eats well and trains well so he can perform at a high level.

Undertaker drew inspiration from Kobe

While Joshua The Bull was inspired by The Undertaker, The Deadman was inspired by a legend in another sport.
