The competitions will be held in Budapest, Hungary from October 20 to 28.
“I am following wrestling since I was a six-year-old boy. Hard to believe but I walked kilometers in funeral ceremony of Gholamreza Takhti (Iranian wrestling legend). Wrestling has won the most medals for our sports and I am following the results of the Iranian wrestlers in the international events,” Parastui said.
“I wish our wrestlers all the best in the World Wrestling Championships in Hungary. Wrestling is our first sport and I wish our athletes to win medal in the competition,” he added.
Parastui, 63, is an Iranian actor and singer.
