New matches announced for NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed

New matches are set for the Friday, November 8 NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed pay-per-view in Lowell, Massachusetts.

NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd will put his title on the line against Kosei Fujita in a match that’s now been officially confirmed for Fighting Spirit Unleashed. It was set up earlier this week when Fujita answered an open challenge that Kidd had issued.

KENTA will also be in action in Lowell, going one-on-one with Ryohei Oiwa.

Current IWGP Global Champion David Finlay is scheduled for singes competition as well at Fighting Spirit Unleashed against Kevin Knight in what is currently billed as a non-title affair.
