Harada’s final bout will be a one-minute exhibition. 

Pro Wrestling NOAH held a press conference on March 2nd and at the start of it, Daisuke Harada announced that he’ll be retiring from in-ring competition. An ‘abnormality’ was found in his neck in the summer of 2022. 

Harada’s retirement match is taking place on March 9th at Korakuen Hall. Harada’s family gave him the greenlight to do the match and NOAH’s medical team agreed that it’ll be a one-minute exhibition. 

This past summer, NOAH shared that Harada suffered a neck injury and he was pulled from their shows through early September.

Harada underwent an MRI that was conducted by NOAH’s medical staff and they consulted with Shunji Asamoto, Director of the Spine and Spinal Center, Department of Neurosurgery at Makita General Hospital.
