Jon Moxley will battle Davey Richards at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 9.
Barnett announced the news in a tweet on February 9; he noted that it was a rematch 13 years in the making, and their previous clash ended in a time-limit draw.
Moxley is currently signed to AEW, and he is a former AEW World Champion, while Richards is signed to MLW. Since Moxley signed a new contract in October, he has only made a few appearances at independent shows, and he wrestled at DEFY Wrestling Year 6 on February 11.
It's been 13 years since these two clashed one-on-one in the ring.
That last meeting was a time limit draw.
A wrestler can change a lot in 13 years…
But one that hasn't changed for these two athletes – they are out for BLOOD!
