[W-1 News] It was announced that a tournament will be held for the young talent connected to W-1 to earn a singles match against Keiji Mutoh. Also Yusuke Kodama will be going overseas for an indefinite expedition.
Kodama stated that he will be going to Canada for 3 months (I would assume under Rene Dupree) and then he plans to go to American for as long as possible. He stated that it his intention to one day come back to Japan and to be a whole different Yusuke Kodama. To be stronger, bigger, and more skilled. His final match is scheduled to take place on 5/5 before he heads to Canada.
