Скачать или смотреть He Saved Hostages in Iraq… Then Became Muslim | The Forgotten Legend Antonio Inoki

Antonio Inoki is remembered as a Japanese pro‑wrestling legend, founder of New Japan Pro Wrestling, creator of “strong style,” and the man who fought Muhammad Ali in a historic boxer vs wrestler match that helped shape modern MMA.​

What many fans don’t know is that in 1990, as a member of Japan’s parliament, Inoki travelled to Iraq on an unofficial diplomatic mission, negotiated directly with Saddam Hussein and helped secure the release of Japanese hostages, and during that trip he embraced Islam, taking the name Muhammad Hussain Inoki. He later continued using sports to promote peace and unity around the world.​

This video tells the forgotten story of how a pro‑wrestling icon became a bridge between Japan and the Muslim world, from his fight with Ali, to predicting Lyoto Machida’s UFC title, to quietly living as a Muslim while inspiring generations of fighters.
