Two more big matches have been officially signed for the NJPW “Global Wars” tour of the UK this November, alongside local promotion Revolution Pro.
Zack Sabre, Jr. will take on NEVER Openweight Champion Katsuyori Shibata on night one (11/10), followed by Will Ospreay facing off against the legendary Jushin Thunder Liger on night two (11/11).
