RevPro have confirmed that Ricky Knight Jr will face JJ Gale in a highly anticipated rematch at Epic Encounter 2025 on March 16th in Wolverhampton as tension boils over between the two..
The pair’s rivalry has heated up in the last few weeks. Ever since JJ Gale picked up a shock win over RKJ in Sheffield last month, the former Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion has been on a warpath to make his life a living hell.
On Sunday, Ricky Knight Jr attacked Gale’s partner, Cameron Khai, before their clash against the Young Guns at Live in London 93. He then attacked JJ Gale himself, contributing to his eventual loss to Ethan Allen and Luke Jacobs.
Their brawls before and after matches toed the line between real and kayfabe, giving booker Andy Quildan no choice but to announce the match for their latest big event.

On Twitter, RevPro announced that Ricky Knight Jr vs JJ Gale would take place at RevPro Epic Encounter 2025 later this month.
The event on March 16th will broadcast live from The Hanger in Wolverhampton, marking the company’s first major live event in 2025.
With both men already declaring themselves to be future Undisputed British Heavyweight Champions, this match could signal the future opponent for Michael Oku.
Except this one to get violent. Their last encounter and subsequent brawls left nothing to the imagination and including chairs being thrown at security guards and genuine fear that the crowd could be involved in a brawl at any moment.
Ricky Knight Jr spoilt JJ Gale’s match this weekend in London
At RevPro Live in London 93, Ricky Knight Jr decided to spolt JJ Gale and Cameron Khai’s chances at beating Luke Jacobs and Ethan Allen.
Before JJ Gale and Cameron Khai were set to battle the Young Guns at RevPro Live in London 93, RKJ ran in to attack Khai, leaving him a quivering heap in the ring thanks to a Rikishi Driver.
He brawled with the incoming JJ Gale who tried to gain revenge over his partner. However, security broke up the pair and scored Knight away from the ring.
Sadly, the attack injured Cameron Khai and forced paramedics to wheel him to the back for medical attention. It seemed like the match would be cancelled until the man-who-should-be-champion, David Francisco, offered his services to JJ Gale to partner him for the bout.
Stupidly, JJ Gale turned down this offer and went on to lose to the Young Guns. He took a big beatdown from the pair too, which must have delighted Ricky Knight Jr en route to Epic Encounter.
