Posted on by Ethan Renner

Another new match is set for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XII, this one featuring a WWE NXT talent and a legend of Japanese women’s wrestling.

As Barnett revealed Tuesday night in a social media post, WWE NXT’s Karmen Petrovic will face Sumie Sakai at Bloodsport on November 24.

Sakai, 52, is a 27-year veteran who has held over a dozen titles in promotions throughout the world, while Petrovic, 29, is still looking to make her mark in the wrestling world.

Barnett wrote:

“One wrestler’s skills as a Kareteka have been the backbone of what has made her successful in her short time in the Pro Wrestling ring. One wrestler’s skills as a Judoka brought her to the realm of Pro Wrestling and MMA, throwing and armbarring many on the way to carving out a reputation as one of the best. A young blood looks to make a name for herself off the power of her kicks, while a seasoned veteran steps into the ring to show a youngster what it takes to be a top class Pro Wrestler. Karmen Petrovic vs Sumie Sakai at Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport XII Tickets available NOW“

Josh Barnett has revealed the date and location for Bloodsport XII.

The twelfth event in the co-promoted Barnett/GCW Bloodsport series has been announced for Sunday, November 24 in Jersey City, New Jersey at The White Eagle.

The New Jersey location is notable as the show will take place on AEW Full Gear weekend, with the Full Gear pay-per-view set for the day before in Newark, New Jersey.

Barnett announced the date in a social media post, noting that The White Eagle hosted the first Barnett-branded Bloodsport in April 2019:

“The Hardest Hitting Event in all of Professional Wrestling returns… Josh Barnett’s: Bloodsport is headed back to where it all started – The White Eagle in Jersey City, Sun Nov. 24th. Tickets on sale soon.”

Bloodsport XI was held in July in Brooklyn and featured talent from WWE including Shayna Baszler and The Creed Brothers from the Raw brand, plus NXT’s Charlie Dempsey.

No talent has been announced for the November 24 date to this point.
