Many estate agents dream of running their own company but after just two years of trading, one London agent has quit the property sector to become a professional wrestler.

Callum Aslantepe, 29, (pictured) had been running his Swindon estate agency Aslan Real Estate Limited since March 2024 and before that was a sales negotiator at another local group, Atwell Martin.

But the young and now former estate agent has made headlines after revealing that he has wound up his estate agency and moved to Mexico to become a professional wrestler following an initial and successful tour.

Aslantepe is a Lucha Libre (or ‘free wrestling’) combatant – which for the uninitiated is a colourful form of the sport originating in Mexico and famous for its colourful masks, rapid sequences of holds and manoeuvres, and acrobatic aerial techniques.

Thousands of fans

“It’s a huge part of the culture here. For an average show in the UK we’d get maybe 300 people on a good night, in Mexico we’re talking thousands of fans,” he tells the BBC.

“It’s one of those things where you dream of doing a job but actually never fulfill…wrestling was always a massive thing for me.”

Aslantepe performs as Prince Phoenix and has been training to be a wrestler since he was nine years old but, despite his no-holds-barred ambitions, became an estate agent aged 20 after leaving school.

Aslan Properties Limited is facing strike-off at Companies House and the firm’s latest records reveal company assets totalling £3,000.
