(NOAH) Former GHC Heavyweight Champion, Katsuhiko Nakajima, promises a big comeback.


The currently uncrowned tag team of Katsuhiko Nakajima (29) and Masa Kitamiya (29) will challenge the GHC Tag Team Heavyweight champions Mohammed Yone (42) and Quiet Storm (34) at the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium on the 11th March. It will be the third time this duo have challenged for the belts, "we will take it this time, the third time, I am honest about this!"

The tournament will also mark a big milestone in the life of Nakajima. "I will be thirty years old on the 11th, this will be the 15th year of my debut, I will take the belt and use it to start off a new Katsuhiko Nakajima". Naturally, no one can deny that his presence has been somewhat diluted since losing the belt to Eddie Edwards (34) last August and the loss of the GHC, in this, his milestone year, he is burning with chances.

There is another reason for his not to be beaten; "Global Tag League" starts on the 18th after the title battle, the event will begin at Fukoka Hakata. "I will fight against Naomichi Marufuji (38) and Atsushi Kotoge (32) alongside Kitamiya, but it may be destiny rather than coincidence if I take the belt on my birthday, as the champion I want to welcome in the opening of the League and of course win it!"

Running to a schedule that seems like a coincidence, Nakajima accepts fate and burns with fighting spirit. The "Boy Genius of Karate" is prepared to go to a new frontier.
