Naomichi Marufuji of Pro Wrestling NOAH will compete in Thailand for the first time in January 2025.
SETUP Thailand Pro Wrestling recently announced their upcoming Bangkok Navigation event for January 18, 2025 under their IWA Thailand banner. To raise the stakes for the debut of their IWA Thailand promotion, they then revealed that NOAH star and wrestling veteran Naomichi Marufuji would be competing at the show.
According to their official statement on their ticket website, Naomichi Marufuji will be headlining the Bangkok Navigation event. SETUP Thailand then expressed their gratitude to NOAH for allowing them to invite Marufuji for the special match. As of the time of writing, the promotion is yet to reveal his opponent.
SETUP Thailand’s partnership with NOAH, however, is not particularly new. They previously had KENOH compete at their Chaophraya Voyage show back in September. There, KENOH faced Paksa as a part of Thai wrestling’s 12-year celebration.
