Top UK independent wrestler Zack Sabre Junior will soon be joining the ranks of New Japan Pro Wrestling. The news was first reported by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

ZSJ has been a mainstay of the British Independent wrestling scene for a number of years now having been a featured talent for PROGRESS, Rev Pro and more recently WCPW. His high profile showing in the WWE Crusierweight Classic tournament and PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles in 2015/2016 helped to elevate his status as “the best technical wrestler on the planet.”

Sabre Jr is likely to be a part of New Japan’s annual Best of The Super Juniors tournament upon his arrival (an event won by fellow Brit Will Ospreay last year).
