Syed Saif Shah came to Britain in 1960 when he was 33 years and already an experienced professional wrestler and recognised as Heavyweight champion of Pakistan for almost a decade. Dale Martin Promotions signed him up for Joint Promotions and he was to remain a mainstay of British wrestling for more than a decade before returning to Pakistan. Born in the Punjab, Shah was educated in Delhi, where an interest in boxing preceded any thoughts of wrestling. Throughout the 1960s he wrestled the top heavyweights in Britain, with frequent sojourns to Europe and the Far East. In 1970 he moved to the independent promoters, a frequent opponent of Klondyke Bill, Count Bartelli, and Josef Zaranoff. He later returned to live in Pakistan. www.wrestlingheritage.co.uk International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHdroberts 2/27/2014 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 927f14ec-50ae-497b-8543-86446a8f5015
