Joshua Buatsi vs Dan Azeez has been postponed, just a few days before the huge British fight, after Azeez suffers back injury in final training session.
Joshua Buatsi's British battle with Dan Azeez this weekend has been postponed after Azeez suffered a back injury in his final training session. Buatsi had been set to face Azeez in a crucial light-heavyweight clash at The O2 on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports, but doctors have ruled Azeez is unable to fight due to a trapped nerve in his back. Further details on Saturday's event, including ticket information, and a revised date for Buatsi-Azeez will be communicated shortly.
I want to apologise to all the fans, especially those travelling to the fight. I am also extremely sorry to my opponent Joshua Buatsi, to my promoter and to everyone involved who has worked so hard on this date. I hope this fight can be rescheduled as soon as possible.' BOXXER founder and CEO Ben Shalom said: 'It's tough to take for everyone involved. 'I know that Dan would do anything to be in the ring on Saturday night and for this to happen at this stage is devastating.
