Michael Oku’s journey through PROGRESS Wrestling is one of resilience, reinvention, and rise—from promising prospect to elite performer. Originally competing under the moniker The OJMO, Oku made his PROGRESS debut at Live at The Dome #1 back in 2017. From those early undercard outings, fans could see a spark in the young Londoner, a rare blend of heart, hunger and technical flair.

As The OJMO, Oku became a vital part of the UK scene’s next generation, impressing in landmark appearances across Chapters 88 through 101. From high-stakes bouts at Alexandra Palace to competing for the PROGRESS Unified World Championship, his trajectory was clear: this was a future main eventer.

After a spell away from the Ballroom, Oku made a triumphant return at Unboxing VII in December 2024, now wrestling under his real name, with a renewed focus and joined by his elegant and ever-poised valet, Amira. Their presence together has become a signature highlight – Oku brings the fight, Amira brings the calm.

Since returning, Oku has re-established himself as one of the premier wrestlers on the PROGRESS roster. He’s battled the very best, including a closely contested World Title match against Luke Jacobs at Chapter 179: PROGRESS Las Vegas, and embarked on an emotional run to the semi-finals of Super Strong Style 16 in 2025, defeating Kid Lykos and Trent Seven before being narrowly edged out by Leon Slater in a match-of-the-night contender.

Combining dazzling aerial ability with a ruthless technical edge – personified by his devastating half crab submission – Michael Oku is a master of both spectacle and substance. With the unwavering support of the fans and Amira in his corner, the story of Michael Oku in PROGRESS Wrestling is far from over.

In fact, it may just be reaching its most glorious chapter.
