Adam Azim’s light-welterweight contest with Gustavo Lemos has been postponed after both fighters sustained hand injuries.
Azim and Lemos were set to headline the event at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday, 31 January, which is being shown across the BBC.
Promoter Boxxer said Argentina’s Lemos was first to injure his hand and a replacement had been secured.
But Briton Azim suffered an injury in his final sparring session and scan results received yesterday confirmed he is unable to compete.
“The IBF number two eliminator, set for Saturday, January 31, will be rescheduled after both fighters sustained injuries in training,” Boxxer said in a statement.
