Outgoing Sheffield MEP Magid Magid considers pro-wrestling career after Brexit

As the UK prepares to leave the EU today, January 31, more than 70 British MEPs will find themselves out of a job.

ITV news interviewed three MEPs about their plans post Brexit, including Mr Magid, who said he is thinking about a pro-wrestling career.

Mr Magid told ITVs Charlie Bayliss: “Many people don’t know, but I used to do MMA.

“I had the nickname ‘Magic Magid the Submission Magician’, so basically I’m thinking about looking into a career in professional wrestling.”

“I’ve had a couple conversations with a few organisations. Maybe I could merge politics and wrestling together.

"I'm going to get this week out the way, finish my book and then just lay down my plans for the rest of the year, but wrestling is something I'm considering seriously."

"It's just a different adventure and something I've been thinking about.

“I’ve always been a WWE fan and there’s a thriving UK scene and I just thought that possibly it's something I could do.

"I won't be an elected politician, but saying that, I’ll always have my hands in politics and activism."

Mr Magid said he is grateful for the opportunity to represent his home of Sheffield and the Yorkshire region in Brussels.

"There’s a lot Westminster could learn from Europe but I’m just trying to make the most of the last few days," he added.
