He has conquered ZERO1-MAX for longer than anyone expected, winning three Fire Festival tournaments in a row and reigning as ace and champion for a long time, but now Masato Tanaka must face the one and only Yuji Nagata and see if he can really hang up there with the big boys. Tanaka overcame Kohei Sato in his latest World Heavyweight Title defense on ZERO1 soil, a match many thought could be the one where he finally let go of the belt. But a victory in close to 16 minutes meant he held on to the belt and now he is risking it against Nagata. It is now official, Tanaka will make his next defense of the title in his match against Nagata at Sumo Hall on the 13th, meaning two big singles title matches go up one after another!
