LOVE ISLAND star Adam Maxted will take on WWE legend Rey Mysterio on UK television.

And now Maxted, nicknamed Flex, is set to go head-to-head with the former heavyweight champion in the 5 Star Wrestling event at the SSE Arena in his home city of Belfast on March 1.
Hunky Maxted, 25, has been wrestling for a number of years on the independent UK scene and once fought Drew McIntyre who recently re-signed with WWE.
He was spotted at try-outs for Vince McMahon's promotion back in May this year.
And he has now been selected for the huge show with the UK's fasted rising company.
