mobanmarketA Pure Championship match is set for the Thursday, August 3 episode of Ring of Honor TV.
As announced during this week's show, Katsuyori Shibata will defend the ROH Pure title against Josh Woods on next week's episode.
Woods defeated Eli Isom in a Pure Rules match on this week's episode in a bout where Shibata served as one of the judges. After the contest, "Smart" Mark Sterling issued a challenge to Shibata on Woods' behalf, and the Champion accepted. The match was announced for next week's show.
Shibata defeated Wheeler Yuta to win the Pure title at Supercard of Honor on March 31 of this year and has since defended the title against Christopher Daniels, Alex Coughlin, Lee Moriarty, and Daniel Garcia.

After defeating Garcia at Death Before Dishonor last Friday, Shibata spoke of his desire to set the record for longest Pure title reign. Shibata's reign currently stands at 119 days, well short of Nigel McGuinness's record 350-day reign in 2005 and 2006.
