I do not think screenprinting is the correct process for photographs. The CMYK greyscale separations are used with a different process, offset printing. where the colours combine.
This is an example using CMYK, to get skin tones, half toned, and an additional technique with the layers at different angles. Look at the bottom image. This is using metal plates, not masks, for the offset printing.
Maybe you can get that with traditional screenprinting. The half toning is very fine. All you can do is try. If your wrestler photo is a failure, think of other ways to enhance the image. Lots on the internet when you search. This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0NZBiUWAE4 correctly points out you are stuck with 3 or 4 colours so use them but as a design.
I advise a more screenprinting specific forum. You might already have tried. Some links here: https://blog.feedspot.com/screen_printing_forums/
