Three-time world champion Adeline Gray is poised to make her return to competition tomorrow when the United States face Japan in the fourth edition of the Beat the Streets Los Angeles benefit event.

Competition in the city, due to host the 2028 Olympic Games, will raise money for the Beat the Streets non-profit organisation.

Their main programme features wrestling events alongside leadership building activities and personal mentoring in 24 schools and neighborhood training centres.

Competition is due to feature 10 American wrestlers facing their Japanese rivals at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center.
