Kobashi vs. Takayama Coming Soon

Kenta Kobashi gave an interview today at NOAH offices where he said that he has started to lightly spar with other wrestlers and that he is progressing nicely for his return to the ring that he wants to happen before this year is over. He was asked about Yoshihiro Takayama’s challenge for him when he comes back that he made on Sunday at the Budokan and said that Takayama would be a natural opponent for him since he also came back from a serious injury that threatened his career.
