Next month's world feartherweight title fight between Juan Manuel Lopez and Rafael Marquez has been postponed after Marquez suffered a hand injury during training.
The fight had been scheduled for September 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Promoters are hoping to reschedule the contest within four weeks of the original date.
Lopez (29-0) will be making the third defence of the WBO title he won with an impressive seventh-round knockout of Steven Luevano in January. Marquez (39-5) is coming off a victory in the third fight of his trilogy with Israel Vazquez.
"It's a big disappointment because this was such a big fight and an exciting fight for boxing," Shaw said. "I would think Showtime will move it to late October or November. Marquez is going to stay in training and just work his left hand and run and do his exercises." - Gary Shaw READ MORE... WANT MORE VISITOR TO YOUR BLOG! Traffic G Link Referral Link Reviewer |
