Jushin Liger vs Will Ospreay Set For UK Tour

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). Mark Haskins, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon has already been signed for night one, and Tomohiro Ishii will be in action on night two.

The NJPW tour is just one week before partner promotion Ring of Honor invades the UK as well. As reported earlier today, Will Ospreay has been confirmed for all three nights of the tour, and ROH has plans to bring back “The Villain” Marty Scurll stateside in the future.
