He plans to have another surgery when he retires from in-ring competition.
Taking to his social media platforms, Takashi Sugiura revealed that he underwent successful eye surgery. He had a lens removed. He noted that it shifted considerably since his injury.
Sugiura noted that normally, a medical lens would be inserted to replace the removed lens, but he plans to have that operation done when he’s retired from in-ring competition. This is Sugiura’s third eye surgery but he noted that it would’ve been too painful to undergo double eye surgery.
手術終わりました。
怪我した時より水晶体がかなりズレてたので手術で取りました。
本来なら取った水晶体の代わりに医療用レンズを眼内に入れるのですが、その手術は現役を退いたらやる予定です。
目の手術は3度目ですが辛すぎて、ついでに二重の手術をして下さいとはお願い出来ませんでした。 pic.twitter.com/QWHbZvr31m— Takashi Sugiura (@noah_sugiura) July 6, 2023
In June, Sugiura challenged Jake Lee for the GHC Heavyweight Championship. Going into the match, he received well wishes from Shinjiro Otani.
