The first FURY-wide junior tournament was held in January of 2003 to determine the first Jr. Heavyweight Champion. The following year, the tournament was moved to July in order to be an annual Summer festivity. The tournament has become FURY's longest lasting tournament, and has become one of the most popular attractions in all of Japanese Pro-Wrestling. The tournament has been held under various names, including "ULTIMATE J-1," "J1-WORLD League," and now "J1-MAX League." Whatever the name, the premise remains the same: To determine the strongest Junior Heavyweight in FURY.
