At a press conference earlier today, top Pro Wrestling NOAH Jr. Heavyweight Daisuke Harada announced he will retire at the 3/9 event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. Harada is retiring due to a neck injury suffered last August on doctor’s advice, and will finish his career with a 1 minute exhibition match against Atsushi Kotoge.
