TAKA Michinoku to miss remainder of NJPW BOSJ tour due to injury

TAKA Michinoku’s injury will cause him to miss the remainder of NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors tour.

NJPW has announced that Michinoku is off the rest of the tour and will forfeit the two remaining tournament matches he has left. Michinoku was scheduled to face Marty Scurll and Yoshinobu Kanemaru in those matches.

Michinoku also missed Sunday’s Best of the Super Juniors show and forfeited his tournament match against Dragon Lee.

NJPW noted that Michinoku suffered a right foot injury at their show this past Friday.

Michinoku was part of the B Block in the Best of the Super Juniors and went winless in his tournament matches.

There are four shows left until the Best of the Super Juniors finals, which will take place at Sumo Hall in Tokyo on Wednesday, June 5. Shingo Takagi and Taiji Ishimori are still in contention in the A Block, while El Phantasmo, Robbie Eagles, Will Ospreay, and Ryusuke Taguchi are in contention in the B Block.
