Despite some reports to the contrary, 2004 Olympic gold medalist Greco-Roman wrestler Karam Ibrahim of Egypt, better known as Karam Gaber, has not yet signed to make his K-1 debut on the Premium 2004 Dynamite show on Dec. 31 at the Osaka Dome, according to his brother and manager, Adel Ibrahim. K-1's offer is still being considered, but nothing has been signed as of Sunday night, the New York-based Ibrahim stressed.

The electric and charismatic Gaber is generally regarded around the world as the most exciting athlete in the sport of wrestling today.

Gaber, however, will be in New York to wrestle at the annual New York Athletic Club Open Christmas International Wrestling Championships, his brother also confirmed. This event will feature men's and women's freestyle wrestling on Saturday, December 18, and men's Greco-Roman wrestling on Sunday, December 19. The New York Athletic Club is located at 180 Central Park South at 59th Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan. We will soon have more information on that event.

Gaber is also planning to continue his wrestling career so that he can compete in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, his brother added.

Adel Ibrahim, himself a former wrestler, is currently also a personal trainer at a Bally Total Fitness club in Manhattan. He said he has trained both professional athletes and celebrities there, and has been named as the outstanding trainer of that location nine times. The address of the club where he works is 641 Avenue of the Americas at 19th Street in Manhattan.
