NJPW has announced four matches for Royal Quest III. 

The show takes place Thursday, October 14 from the Copper Box Arena in London. It will be headlined by Will Ospreay defending the IWGP United States/United Kingdom Championship against Zack Sabre Jr. The match was confirmed following Destruction in Kobe on Sunday. 

Additional matches for the show announced on Monday include Shingo Takagi vs. Tomohiro Ishii. Takagi defeated Ishii in the G1 this summer and holds a 5-1 edge in their all-time head-to-head series. 

Yota Tsuji will face Luke Jacobs on the show as well. Jacobs defeated Tsuji during Tsuji’s excursion to RevPro last year.
