ONE Heavyweight World Champion Arjan Bhullar recently caught up with one of his childhood heroes, who could become a trainer to him in the next phase of his career. “Singh” is busy preparing up for his ONE Heavyweight World Title unification bout with interim titleholder Anatoly Malykhin this Friday, June 23, at ONE Friday Fights 22, but he found time to interview professional wrestling icon Bret “The Hitman” Hart in the lead-up.

The Indian fighter is a fan of pro wrestling, and he revealed that he has a clause in his ONE Championship contract that would allow him to dabble in the sports entertainment world if the opportunity arose.

Lessons from Bret Hart could really be a huge help if Arjan Bhullar wanted to wrestle

While speaking with “The Hitman,” Bhullar took the opportunity to ask for his help if he does make the transition to pro wrestling in the future. “I’m going to be honest, I’m a big fan. In my [ONE Championship] contract, I’m allowed to pro wrestle, and I want to pro wrestle. So this is actually quite personal for me. I want to get some insight from you on the best way to make that transition,” Bhullar said to Hart.

The 65-year-old Canadian legend is the son of famed wrestling pioneer Stu Hart. Their family’s school, The Hart Dungeon, has trained several notable pro wrestling stars like Owen Hart, Chris Jericho, Edge, Ken Shamrock, Lance Storm, Mark Henry, and Natalya Neidhart, to name a few. As such, Hart graciously invited Bhullar to seek out his help once he decides to make the move.

“I will certainly do my best to give you the best advice. I’d be happy to sit down with you and give you lots of pointers and things I can help you with as we go on and steer you in the right direction,” he said. “When you’re doing that down that road, you get in touch with me, and we’ll discuss the best route for you to get to where you want to go.”

Pro wrestling may be in his future, but for now, Bhullar is focused on proving why he is the king of the heavyweights by taking out undefeated superstar Malykhin.
