Konosuke Takeshita Would Face Kota Ibushi “Anytime”

Konosuke Takeshita wants to face off with Kota Ibushi and it doesn’t matter when.

Takeshita has took the wrestling world by storm over the last year and a half or so, similar to how Kota Ibushi did in the past. The two men have faced off in multi man matches, also training together previously.

However, the two men have not faced off in singles competition since back in 2014, with fans clamouring for another match between the two in 2023.

In an interview with DDT Pro-Wrestling’s website, Takeshita stated that he’s ready to face Ibushi “anytime”.

“Anytime is fine with me. But realistically, the only ring where we can have such a match is AEW. In that sense, it is a dream come true, because AEW is an organization where dream matches are commonplace. So, Japanese fans, please save your money and come to the U.S. to see this event.I want DDT fans to experience the atmosphere here,

“If I really like Ibushi, I’ll do it in any ring in Japan or the U.S. If Mr. Takagi sees that and gets passionate about it and says, ‘Okay, let’s do it in DDT, too!’ I’ll go back to Japan. But I have made the decision to put my life on the line, and as a result, I am here now.That’s why I want everyone…wrestlers, organizations, and fans to take action.I want everyone to experience that by taking action, a path will open up.I still want DDT to take a risky challenge for Sanshiro Takagi. Of course, there may be a big risk in calling Jericho, but by doing it with me, it won’t be that risk, so you can rest assured that Takagi will see it,”

Takeshita and Ibushi will be on opposite sides of a eight man tag street fight on next week’s edition of AEW Dynamite.

We will have to wait and see if we will see the two stars clash in a one on one match inside the squared circle at a later date.
