(PHILADELPHIA) — Major League Wrestling (MLW®) today announced a Street Fight: AKIRA vs. Jimmy Lloyd at the FUSION TV taping portion of FURY ROAD on Sunday, September 3 at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena.
FURY ROAD has a special 6pm start time.
Grab tickets at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office. Tickets start at $15.
The Calling’s “Death Fighter” AKIRA is set to go to war with Jimmy Lloyd as the two clash for the first time in an MLW ring in s STREET FIGHT!
The match is a part of the FUSION portion of the card.
AKIRA, the World Middleweight Champion and 1/2 of the World Tag Team Champions, has decimated all since debuting earlier this year. Emerging in MLW with a rep as a fearless deathmatch wrestler, AKIRA is equally dangerous in catch wrestling.
Across the ring is “the different boy”… who just happens to have an uncanny threshold for pain. Debuted in the Battle RIOT to a roaring reception from MLW’s fans, Lloyd now makes his singles debut in a match that guarantees total carnage.
Lloyd isn’t afraid of taking on anyone in any match, as the independent underdog’s reputation has grown while enduring uncanny levels of pain while dripping in blood. Smashing light tubes and defying the odds in death matches, Jimmy Lloyd is battle-tested in just about every environment.
In a never-ending quest to earn the respect and prove his worth, no matter the risks to his own body, Lloyd looks to push AKIRA to the limit in a match where anything goes.
Can Lloyd’s high threshold for pain and blend of carnage help him clinch victory? Will AKIRA pull out all of the stops in a match made to be hosted in the hallowed hardcore halls of the 2300 Arena.
