These were two top names at the time, especially Pons. Bech-Olsen wrestled Hackenshmidt and Pons wrestled the turkish champions who came to France. Amazing footage, now the oldest verified pro wrestling footage and championship match footage.
Kara Ahmed and Pons wrestled 6 times. Kara Ahmed could not compete in a match because his finger was injured and was considered defeated, but he won in the other 5 matches. I'm glad that Kara Ahmed is in my family tree, I read his book and he is someone I take as an example, but unfortunately there is no wrestling video.
@@yusuf.-2911he is related to your family too ? my grandmothers mother came from bulgaria razgrad to istanbul / kücükcekmece and her uncle was Kara Ahmed 🙏🏼 she used to tell me about some story’s when i was a child
@@Arrxyzed Unfortunately, he is not a relative of mine, you are a very lucky person to have a relative of the best wrestler in the world. In his book, it is written that Kara Ahmed became the 1899 World Greco-Roman Wrestling Champion despite not knowing Greco-Roman. It was a very different book and one that I admired. Rest in peace.
