“My fight next Saturday night has been cancelled due to my opponent getting injured. It sucks but I believe this is meant to happen, it’s all part of the long successful journey I’m goin to have. This was the best Iv ever felt for any bout, diet, weight cut and training was all on time. I will be out again soon. I will be in San Jose to watch the fight tho so will be a good night.
