Will Ospreay has stated that he will be taking some time off to “listen to his body” after losing the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship to Hiromu Takahashi at NJPW’s Dominion event.
The high-flyer’s health has been in question in recent weeks, especially after the damage he put his body through during the recent Best of the Super Juniors tournament. Critics and fans have raved about Ospreay’s performances, including the tournament finals match against Taiji Ishimori that has been hailed as one of the best junior heavyweight matches in history.
However, Ospreay is still currently scheduled to face Tyler Bate for the first time ever on June 29th for Fight Club Pro.
