Breaking News in the world of professional wrestling! Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Boltin Oleg will not be competing in upcoming New Japan Pro-Wrestling events due to injuries.
Kanemaru suffered a left knee injury during a match on September 9 in Korakuen Hall, rendering him unable to compete today in Funabashi, Chiba, and Monday in Ibaraki. Meanwhile, Oleg is still recovering from an infection in his left wrist, which also prevents him from participating in these events.
We understand that fans were eagerly anticipating their matches and apologize for any disappointment caused. However, the safety and well-being of the wrestlers are of utmost importance, and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.
As a result of these injuries, some changes have been made to today’s card:
In the first match, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Togi Makabe, Tiger Mask, and Boltin Oleg were originally scheduled to face Satoshi Kojima, Tomoaki Honma, Yuto Nakashima, and Oskar Leube. However, with Oleg unable to compete, Jado will take his place.
Additionally, the sixth match was originally planned to feature SANADA, Taichi, DOUKI, and Yoshinobu Kanemaru against EVIL, SHO, Dick Togo, and Yujiro Takahashi. Due to Kanemaru’s injury, TAKA Michinoku will substitute for him.
It is currently unclear when Kanemaru and Oleg will be able to return to the ring. We wish them both a full and speedy recovery.
