Mofo2 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Derry Mathews' WBA World Lightweight title opportunity on Friday 6th March at the Liverpool Echo Arena has been put on hold after the Champion Richar Abril has been forced to withdraw due to a viral infection.The show will still go ahead with Paul Butler's IBF World Super-Flyweight title challenge against Zolani Tete headlining an action-packed card that includes Merseyside stars Kevin Satchell, Liam Smith and Jazza Dickens, plus Lancashire hot shot Jack Catterall all in big title action, and local favourites Tom Stalker and Stephen Lewis also on the card.Abril has been suffering from a viral infection, possibly Dengue Fever which is being diagnosed now, that has left him unable to train and has received medical advice not to fight.The Cuban's lawyer, Gregory Bloom, has asked for a postponement for the fight while Abril recovers and is able to resume full training again. Bloom adds that they are committed to giving Mathews his world shot and promoter Frank Warren is looking at rescheduling the fight at the earliest opportunity.Bloom said, "We definitely want to have Abril defend his title against Derry Mathews and it is our hope that we can reschedule the fight for early April or as close to that time frame as possible," Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
