Luke Jacobs is now Progress World Champion.
At Progress Chapter 169: The Devil On My Shoulder, the main event featured Kid Lykos defending against Luke Jacobs after Jacobs earned a championship opportunity at Super Strong Style 16 earlier this year, winning the tournament.
Jacobs would come out of the gates hot and would go on to defeat Lykos in brutal fashion to become the new world champion in Progress.
