Kota Ibushi Shares Another Update on His Recovery Status

Kota Ibushi provides an update on his recovery status.

The veteran wrestler suffered a career-threatening injury last October. Ibushi fell off the shoulders of Josh Alexander from a turnbuckle and to the outside during a match on AEW Collision.

Ibushi later revealed that he suffered a broken femur and underwent surgery. He further revealed that he would not be able to return to the ring for the next two years.

Earlier this year, in February, he was forced to undergo another surgery after a major screw came loose.

Earlier today, Kota Ibushi took to Instagram to share an update on his progress. He revealed that his femur has yet to be attached. Despite that, the 43-year-old revealed that he can now do a standing moonsault. Though Ibushi admitted that there is still plenty of room for growth and recovery, he is determined to overcome the struggles and return to the ring someday.

“My femur isn’t attached yet, but for now, challenge, challenge, challenge! I have to do it! That’s about it and that’s it. Second ring in 6 months. Moonsault hit the face. 😵 Still a lot of growth to recover! 44 years, 22 years career. From kickboxing to pro wrestling, 26 years of fighting life with no regrets! I’ll do it! I wonder if the bones are okay,” he wrote.
