Kota Ibushi is not giving up, and his latest injury update shows just how much fight he still has left in him.
The Japanese star suffered a broken femur back in October 2025 after falling off Josh Alexander’s shoulders and crashing to the outside during an AEW Collision match. He had surgery shortly after, but earlier this year in February, a major screw came loose and forced him to go under the knife again.
Now, Ibushi has shared a positive update on Instagram. He revealed that his femur is still not fully attached, but he is already back to doing standing moonsaults. He wrote,
“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.”
