Ganbare Pro ran a small house show today dubbed “Sangalia 2022” that was preceded by the signing ceremony for the upcoming Spirit of Ganbare World Openweight Championship on 9/3. The ceremony, held separately from the event at Narimasu Act Hall in Tokyo, it saw Champion Yumehito Imanari & Challenger Hartley Jackson get heated after much beer-themed (and fueled?) taunting.

The announced paid attendance was 114.
