Will Ospreay managed to defeat longtime rival Zack Saber Jr. over the weekend at RevPro's High Stakes show to become the new British Heavyweight Champion.
The Aerial Assassin has been plying his trade in New Japan's Jr. Heavyweight Division for quite some time, but has recently been teasing a move to the higher weight class. It looks like this title win was the clincher, because Ospreay has now made it official:
Will has now faced pretty much every Jr. Heavyweight competitor there is and his popularity has been on the rise for quite some time, so this move was inevitable.
Expect to see a strong showings from the British star at upcoming NJPW events.
