New Japan Pro Wrestling is heading back to the UK for its third Royal Quest show.

The Japanese wrestling company announced on Monday (August 14) that Royal Quest III will be taking place on Saturday, October 14 at The Copper Box Arena in London.

The Copper Box was the host of the first-ever Royal Quest in 2019, with the 2022 event taking place at Crystal Palace.

NJPW's trip overseas comes in a year filled with huge wrestling shows taking place in the UK.
