ニューヨーク (2月. 22, 2016)–Undefeated world champion Keith Thurman sustained an injury as a result of a car accident that has forced his 3月 12 welterweight title defense against Shawn Porter to be postponed. The announcement was made today by promoter Lou DiBella, ディベラ・エンターテインメント社長. According to his doctors, Thurman’s injuries are not considered serious and he is expected to be cleared to resume training in the coming weeks. サーマンvs. Porter was the main event of a scheduled two-fight card to be broadcast in prime time on CBS. This fight and the network broadcast will now be rescheduled for a later date.
DiBellaエンターテイメント, Mohegan Sun and Showtime are evaluating the option of continuing with the remainder of the fight card on 土曜日, 3月 12 with a transition of television coverage to SHOWTIME. Complete details are forthcoming.
“While it’s unfortunate that we must temporarily postpone this marquee matchup, a main event of the magnitude of Thurman vs. Porter requires both fighters be healthy and at their best.” ディベラは言った. “Keith is anxious to resume training as soon he is able and both he and Shawn are looking forward to a new fight date.”
