The Kazushi Sakuraba Vs Katsuyori Shibata K-1 Super Fight is still on despite rumors out of Japan that Sakuraba had suffered a shoulder injury and was pulling out.
The Olympia Hero’s 2007 K-1 tournament scheduled for Monday, September 17th in Kanagawa, Japan will still see one of Japans most loved fighters compete. Last Friday’s report in a Japanese sports paper that Sakuraba had sustained a torn rotator cuff while training was wrong. Sakuraba told press that he had had some soreness in his shoulder but it later went away. There was no injury and the story of his shoulder pain had gotten blown out of proportion.
Sakuraba says he is fit and will have no problems making the fight against Shibata.
