Egypt Introduces Lion Fighting to Boost Tourism 4
Egypt is hoping that their new economic problems have an old solution. Taking a page out of the Roman playbook, they plan on introducing lion fighting to increase tourism. Panthera leo fighting enthusiast al-Sayed al-Essawy plans to fight a full-grown African lion in front of the Pyramids at Giza. “The world will flock to see the Egyptian man who defeated a lion with his bare hands. After the revolution, with the economy the way it is, I've been given the perfect opportunity to realize my dream," he says. Adding: "I discovered my incredible strength at the age of 13, and, almost immediately afterwards, promised myself that, one of these days, I would fight a lion. If America, or any other country, had a man with the ability to combat the strongest creature on the planet, they would properly promote him, and use his strength to their advantage."

If all it took was strength to beat a fucking lion, then we would have a LOT less lions on the planet. Strength doesn't stop teeth, claws, etc. plus about a 2:1 weight bias, plus physical size etc. Looks like the build up to yet another scene for "Faces of Death"...
