I’m a multiple world record holder and the planet’s ‘Strongest Freak’, now I’m wrestling in Blackpool
“He has to put up or shut up, basically. He's got to show me that he has heart and he has guts. And me personally, I don't think he's got any.”
Multiple world record holder and strongman Steve Stevens, better known as Titan, is preparing to step into the wrestling ring to face AJ Grimm in an Undisputed Championship clash at Rascals Professional Wrestling Academy in Blackpool.
Titan, who describes himself as the World's Strongest Freak, is making his return to Rascals after previously appearing on its wrestling roster before stepping away to pursue world records and performances around the world.
Now, he believes Grimm has taken advantage of his absence and is determined to reclaim the spotlight.
“I am not a wrestler. Basically, I'm an attraction. I am Titan,” he declared. The strongman, who boasts six world records, said he had returned with one goal in mind: to claim the Undisputed Championship. “Don't put limitations to Titan's name.”
Among his achievements are an Inch Dumbbell Strict Press record of 78kg for 15 repetitions in under two minutes, a one-handed Strict Press Max Weight World Record of 121kg, and a grip strength record for bending 26 six-inch steel nails with his bare hands in one minute.
Titan believes Grimm has bullied his way to the top during his absence and does not recognise him as the rightful undisputed champion. “I don't recall leaving the vacancy for the World's Strongest Freak open to anyone, and I believe he's tried to pinch that role for himself.”

He added: “I don't see him as the true undisputed champion. I see him more as just keeping that title warm for me until I properly make my return.” The match will take place under pure wrestling rules, with no outside interference or disqualifications providing an escape route.
“He has to put up or shut up, basically. He's got to show me that he has heart and he has guts. And me personally, I don't think he's got any.”
Titan has been stepping up his preparation for the showdown, combining heavy strength training with explosive movements, conditioning drills, heavy bag work and ground-and-pound training.

“I'm doing more on the heavy bag. I'm doing more ground and pound training. So it's utilising all of my strength to create one perfect wrecking machine.”
