Japanese Grand Prix Freestyle Fighting Tournament Set To Commence In A Few Weeks
Following recent accusations surfacing regarding arranged fights amongst a few of the competitors in the highly anticipated Japanese Grand Prix freestyle fighting tournament, the committee has announced that upon completion of their investigation, the tournament is expected to begin within a few weeks.
“One of the three fighters who was mentioned in arranged fights have been cleared, and we are following protocol and looking to conclude our investigation shortly about the other two,” said Japanese Grand Prix committee President Sadaharu Tanikawa. “We don’t take these accusations lightly. We are conducting a thorough investigation, and that is why we are unable to set a specific date. These investigations take a while, and we want to make sure we do it right. This tournament is held in a much higher regard than any other competition around the world, and we will do everything in our power to maintain the high level of respect and honor associated with it.”
Although he would not release which individual fighter has been cleared, he did state that he is confident that the other two remaining fighters will too be cleared to participate in the tournament.
The tournament was supposed to get underway earlier this month, but following the surfacing of the varied allegations, Tanikawa immediately put it on hold.
The annual Japanese Grand Prix freestyle fighting tournament contains the top fighters in their discipline across the world. Competing this year are Japan’s acclaimed sumo champion Harumafuji, America’s Bare Knuckle Boxing Champion Gunn, France’s Savate Militec and Argentina’s Muay Thai Bosch, as well as several other decorated fighters.
With the tournament set to begin in just a few weeks, fight fans worldwide can get excited to know that the ultimate freestyle fighting champion will soon be crowned, and will have the opportunity to enter any fighting competition around the world.
More information will be provided as it is released by the Japanese Grand Prix freestyle fighting committee.
