Major sponsors of Senegalese wrestling are threatening to withdraw funding due to recent scandals involving prominent wrestlers. The controversy stems from allegations of animal cruelty – specifically, the mistreatment of kittens by wrestler Reug Reug – and violent conduct following a match involving Prince. Sponsors, including Canal+ and Orange, express concern that these actions damage their brand image. They deem the six-month suspension given to Reug Reug as insufficient. The Senegalese Wrestling Federation (FSL), led by Bira Sène, is under pressure to impose stricter penalties, particularly on Prince, who is awaiting a final decision regarding his post-match behavior. The potential loss of sponsorship could significantly hinder the development and professionalization of the sport in Senegal.
