New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) has announced that Yoshinobu Kanemaru will be absent for the remainder of the Road to Destruction tour due to a knee injury sustained on September 9. Fans who were looking forward to seeing Kanemaru wrestle will have to wait for his return. NJPW apologizes for any disappointment caused and appreciates the understanding of the fans during this time.
In Kanemaru’s place, TAKA Michinoku will step in and compete in matches for the rest of the tour. Michinoku is a skilled wrestler who has been a part of NJPW for many years, and his presence will surely add excitement to the events.
On a positive note, Boltin Oleg, who was previously removed from the cards due to an infection in his left wrist, has been cleared to return to action. Fans can expect to see Oleg back in the ring starting from Thursday’s non-televised live event in Shizuoka. Oleg’s return will undoubtedly bring a fresh dynamic to the upcoming matches.
NJPW and its fans continue to wish Yoshinobu Kanemaru a speedy and full recovery. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the wrestling world, but the support and well-wishes from the fans can make a difference in the road to recovery.
