Body Smasher- sounds like Enter the dragon.
I think it's more like a cross of Enter The Dragon, Bloodsport, and Sum Of All Fears.
Enter The Dragon: Bruce Lee had already been invited to participate in Han's tournament when the government asks him to spy for them.
Body Smasher: Rick Harrison is recruited by his war buddy from Vietnam (the book's set in the 1980s) to go undercover for the CIA because they think they may have a leak.
Bloodsport: Frank Dux has to go through a rigorous training regimine (montage) in oreder to be ready for the kumate.
Body Smasher: Rick Harrison is not a pro wrestler and has to take a crash course in real catch-as-catch-can wrestling in order to be believable as a member of Team USA in The World Wrestling & Weightlifting Games (another montage).
Sum Of All Fears: Middle Eastern terrorists find an undetonated nuclear warhead, repair it, and smuggle it into the USA to detonate it and start a war between the US and Russia.
Body Smasher: Communist terrorists steal a bunch of weapons grade plutonium, build a nuclear bomb, smuggle it into the USA, and intend to detonate it at The World Wrestling & Weightlifting Games in hopes of inspiring "the workers of the world to stop playing sports and start a revolution".
