ROH reveals date for Katsuyori Shibata’s next Pure title defense

Ring of Honor has revealed the date for Katsuyori Shibata's next Pure Championship defense. 

As announced during this week's Ring of Honor TV, Shibata is set to defend the ROH Pure Championship against Alex Coughlin on the Thursday, June 1 episode of ROH TV. 

ROH announcer Ian Riccaboni revealed that Shibata will take on Coughlin in Las Vegas, signaling that the match will be taped on Wednesday, May 24 at the Dynamite and Rampage taping. 

Shibata was responsible for training Coughlin as part of the first class of this iteration of NJPW's LA Dojo, setting the stage for the teacher vs. student title match. 

After defeating Wheeler Yuta for the Pure title at Supercard of Honor on March 31, Shibata has since made one title defense, defeating Christopher Daniels on the April 6 edition of Ring of Honor TV. That bout was taped at the UBS Arena on Long Island in Elmont, New York on April 5.
