Voodoo wrestling, also known as catch-fetiche, is a popular sport in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where fighters use magic and spells in the ring. Wrestlers, both men and women, perform various mystical rituals and techniques to gain an advantage over their opponents. The origins of the sport are unclear, but it may have been influenced by the legendary boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in the 1970s. Voodoo Wrestling matches draw large crowds in impoverished neighborhoods, with spectators paying a small fee to watch the bouts. Fighters often rely on their winnings and also work as healers to supplement their income.
