Des chatons dans le seau : Le bain mystique de Reug Reug fait polémique (vidéo)
The fight between Reug Reug and Boy Niang 2, held this Sunday, June 7, 2026, at the National Arena, continues to generate reactions far beyond the sporting outcome. Despite winning this major wrestling event, Reug Reug found himself at the center of a heated controversy due to a mystical bathing ritual observed before the fight.
According to several images widely shared on social media, the wrestler from Thiaroye poured liquid from a bucket over his body, in which two kittens could be seen. This footage quickly sparked numerous reactions among television viewers and internet users, some interpreting it as a traditional mystical practice, while others denounced it as a possible act of animal cruelty.
The controversy has been growing since the end of the fight. Voices are being raised demanding explanations about the circumstances surrounding this staged event and calling for sanctions if acts of cruelty towards animals are proven. Conversely, some defenders of bullfighting traditions are urging caution, believing that no evidence at this stage suggests any mistreatment.
This incident has reignited the debate surrounding the role of mystical practices in Senegalese wrestling, a discipline where traditional rituals have long played a significant part in the psychological and spiritual preparation of the fighters. To date, neither Reug Reug nor the relevant authorities have issued any official statement regarding this event.
