Lucas Eatwell (born 24 July 1987) is a British professional wrestler better known by the ring name Zack Sabre Jr. He is currently working for Evolve, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and holds the British Heavyweight and Evolve Championships.
Sabre is a former NWA United Kingdom Junior Heavyweight Championship winner and a product of the NWA-UK Hammerlock training school. He started training with NWA-UK Hammerlock at the age of 14, under the guidance of Jon Ryan and Andre Baker. His offense includes various technical wrestling holds and pinning combinations, along with hard hitting strikes, which stems from his love of puroresu. Sabre has had various feuds throughout his career, with wrestlers such as Go Shiozaki, El Generico, Martin Stone, Prince Devitt, Bryan Danielson, Roderick Strong and Chris Hero. He was a member of popular British tag team the Leaders of the New School, alongside partner Marty Scurll. In March 2017 he made his debut for NJPW, joining the Suzuki-gun stable. The readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter voted Sabre the Best Technical Wrestler of 2014, 2015, and 2016. In PWG, he is a former PWG World Champion and the winner of the 2015 Battle of Los Angeles tournament.
