Kota Ibushi Announces Upcoming Ankle Surgery – Following his ankle injury at Pro Wrestling NOAH’s New Year 2024 show, Kota Ibushi has announced on X that he will undergo surgery.
“sorry for the late contact. I’m sure Mr. NOAH will give you more details, but I would like to inform you that the inside of my left ankle was quite a mess, so I decided to have surgery on the right ligament. I think there will be a release soon. I’m really, really sorry.
I came here with the goal of being able to do it for 20 years, and I think it’s about time for me to be active. There are still a lot of things left on my contract, but I want to complete them! I try not to talk too darkly or think about the future, but I have to take care of my mother and other things, so I’ll talk about it when the time comes! Don’t miss one game at a time”
In his main event bout against Naomichi Marufuji, Ibushi injured his ankles on a moonsault attempt. There were reports going into the show that Ibushi was already suffering from a broken left ankle. Ibushi was taken to a hospital after The New Year for treatment after struggling to walk and stand.
