NJPW’s Francesco Akira has given fans an update on his recovery.
Francesco Akira broke his wrist on August 22, 2025 during a match at Revolution Pro Wrestling’s Global Wars UK event in London, England. He required surgery. Since then he has been out of action halting a singles push in the promotion.
In a blog post on NJPW’s news site he announced:
“Until May, things were going incredibly well, and I came so close to reaching the BOSJ finals. But then I fractured my wrist, and everything came to a halt. I know injuries are part of being a pro wrestler. But this was the biggest injury of my career, and I don’t think I was mentally prepared for it. Now, my mindset is positive, and my wrist is feeling much better. I still don’t know when my return will be, but I promise you one thing. Next year, I’ll fight with everything I’ve got. I will make up for every lost day. 100% won’t be enough. I’ll give 200% and achieve my goals no matter what! Thank you so much for all your support this year. See you again next year!”.
Akira is not officially scheduled for any upcoming NJPW events including Wrestle Kingdom.
