Pro Wrestling Guerilla has announced that top European independent star and wXw Unified Heavyweight Champion Ilja Dragunov will be taking part in the upcoming Battle of Los Angeles tournament.
Dragunov became the wXw Champion during the company’s 16 Carat Gold 2018 event back in March of this year, he defeated then Champion John Klinger and WWE linked star WALTER in an incredible bout that headlined day two of the tournament. This marked the return of Dragunov to the company and he received a thunderous reception from the wXw fanbase.
Dragunov is also scheduled to face WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne as part of PROGRESS’ biggest ever show this September at Wembley Arena. Promoter of Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) Christian Michael Jakobi appeared during PROGRESS Wrestling’s Super Strong Style 16 event recently and challenged the reigning WWE UK Champion to a bout against the wXw World United Heavyweight Champion.
Other names already announced for the tournament include PCO, Brody King and UK independent wrestling legend Jody Fleisch.
Ilja Dragunov is the fourth entrant in the 2018 Battle of Los Angeles!
