Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Singh cancelled his scheduled press conference on Friday after claiming that 'if he starts to speak, there will be a Tsunami.'

Brijbhushan's media address was reportedly cancelled after a phone call from Sports Minister Anurag Thakur, who cautioned him against speaking to the media as it could further complicate the situation.

Brijbhushan's son Pratik Bhushan Singh confirmed that the WFI chief will only speak to the press after WFI's Emergency Council meeting on January 22nd.
