CHARLESTON, SC — Major League Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling have officially announced that reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship holder DOUKI will compete at CMLL Fantastica Mania USA 2026, taking place Sunday, April 12 at Festival Hall in downtown Charleston.
The international showcase, fueled by Danny McBride’s Don Gato Tequila, will also feature an MLW FUSION television taping, bringing together elite talent from Japan, Mexico, and the United States for a global supercard in the Holy City.
Tickets start at just $10 as part of MLW’s Fan Appreciation Night and are available now at MLWgo.com and Eventbrite.
A Champion Brings Global Stakes to Charleston
Known for his unorthodox offense and fearless in-ring style, DOUKI has forged his reputation competing across Japan and Mexico before capturing championship gold in NJPW.
After refining his craft internationally, DOUKI emerged as one of NJPW’s most dynamic junior heavyweights. His rise to the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship has been defined by resilience, precision striking, and high-speed aggression.
Now, with the title around his waist, every appearance carries global significance — and on April 12, Festival Hall becomes his next battleground.
