Rev Pro UK made the announcement via their social media pages;
Francesco Akira will be making his debut against one of British Wrestling’s top UK Jr heavyweights and veteran of UK independent scene Robbie X. Francesco Akira comes to UK with plenty of hype as he is the first ever European to become the AJPW Jr Heavyweight champion and was winner of the 2021 Jr. Battle of Glory.
This will not be the first time Francesco Akira has competed in the UK having previously wrestled for Wrestle Gate and Attack Pro Wrestling as well as OTT, he is also scheduled to appear for Wrestle Carnival in the UK on 14th of November.
Rev Pro UK recently announced their annual British J Cup for the 7th of November and it will be interesting to see if Francesco Akira will be part of this tournament as he’d be a fantastic addition.
