A book is to be published by the Islamic Revolution Documents Center on the life and social status of Gholamreza Takhti, the most famous Iranian wrestler in history.
IBNA: Compiled by Mehdi Haghbin, the book comprises 80 documented pieces based on published journals and books about the Iranian wrestling champion. Haghbin compiled the book after a year of study and research.
In an interview with IBNA, he said the book is primarily composed of short stories about Takhti's life which depict his social behavior and political activities.
An account on Takhti's biography and a chronology of his medals and honors have been appended to the book's content.
Moreover, an interview with Takhti and an article about him, which was published after his death in Keyhan Daily, make up a part of the book. Pictures, documents and accounts on his altercations with the Pahlavi regime are the concluding part of the book.
Takhti grew up in a poor family in a Tehran skid row named Khani-abad. In the interview, he has said he was honored to be born and bred in such a neighborhood.
