NEW YORK (Februari. 1, 2017) — Ongeslagen zwaargewicht Trey Lippe Morrison suffered a cut over his left eye while sparring op dinsdag at Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles and is unavailable to fight on next Friday’s ShoBox: The New Generation uitzending.
“I’m very disappointed for Trey because this is the best camp that we’ve had together,” said trainer Freddie Roach, who was in his sixth camp with the undefeated heavyweight. “Trey should be healed and back in the gym in three or four weeks to come back stronger than ever.”
