El Phantasmo To Take Leave Of Absence From NJPW After Cancerous Tumor Was Found

El Phantasmo Status

El Phantasmo, also known as ELP, was announced by New Japan Pro Wrestling that he would take indefinite leave due to health concerns. Then, Phantasmo quoted the post with words of his own, revealing that he’s had a bunch of scans and tests done, and doctors have found a little tumor of cancer. He says he will be back in NJPW to stand next to Hiroshi Tanahashi and defend NJPW, but it’s unknown when.

We here at Respect the Combat send our best wishes to El Phantasmo and hope he gets well as soon as possible!
