This is frustrating for fight fans, but at least Brandon Vera still gets his chance for a championship belt. Chi-cken Lewis Perry will be replaced by a 37 years old Cheng from China. Cheng last fought and retired on July 2014 and this will be his comeback fight, and he is already getting a chance at the title belt? How lucky can you ger.
This is the second time this year that a main event fighter had backed down due to diffrent reasons. The last one was Santos, when he was scheduled to fight Askren.
After multiple requests made by ONE officials directly to Chi Lewis Parry and his Manager over the last few weeks, Chi has failed to submit his medical results and his drug tests for the fight this Friday. Additionally, he decided not to board the plane departing from London to Manila. He will not be fighting this Friday.
The next top heavyweight contender, Paul Cheng will be stepping in for the World Championship fight against Brandon Vera. Can China claim its first ever Heavyweight World Champion or will the hometown hero make it a storybook win for Filipinos?
Cut Parry, Paste Cheng.
