SHANE EITNER VS SHINSUKE NAKAMURA OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED



The super rookie of INOKI DOJO, Shane Eitner (25), has been officially selected to enter the JUNGLE FIGHT. It will be Shane's second fight, and he will be facing the super rookie of the far east, Shinsuke Nakamura. These two young fighters have met and exchanged techniques in Los Angles when Nakamura was on his NAKAMURA SEVEN FIGHTING SPIRIT TOUR before Shane debuted. The promoters saw unlimited talent and growth in Shane's progress since his debut match and lead to this match up "SUPER ROOKIE VS SUPER ROOKIE," hoping to pull out the best out from the two ultimate talents of the west and the far east.

Hearing this news at a club in Hollywood, Shane has made a quick comment, "I am excited to have a match with Shinnchi (NJPW). He and I trained together at INOKI DOJO, and I respect his fighting spirit very much. I feel very fortunate to be able to test my skills against such a talented adversary so early in my career. He has tremendous wrestling skills, so my plan is to keep the fight on our feet. I've been training hard in boxing, kickboxing, and submissions and feel that I am ready for the challenge ahead of me. Although we have been friends and training partners, it will be pure business in the ring. I train seven hours a day, six days a week for a reason, and that's to win! I won't bring any less than 100% to the ring. He'd better be willing to do the same."
