Tommy Fury (7-0, 4 KOs) canceled the fight planned for December 18 against Jake Paul (4-0, 3 KOs) due to rib injury. Eventually, Tyrone Woodley (0-1) will replace the Briton in the main event of the evening in Tampa.

ā€œI am completely grief-stricken for having to give up my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib,ā€ Fury said.

ā€œThe beginning of my camp was going so incredibly well that I did not even expect that something would prevent me from winning on December 18th. I cannot express how disappointed I am and I really hope that we can move this fight over to the new year. More than anything, I want this fight to take place. Now all I have to do is focus on recovering and postponing this fight,ā€ added Tommy Fury.

It will be Paul's rematch against the former UFC welterweight champion. Their first fight took place in August and ended in a split decision victory for the 24-year-old athlete. The boxing night will take place in the USA as a paid broadcast.

As part of the evening in Tampa, Amanda Serrano (41-1-1, 30 KOs) will also return to the ring. The 33-year-old Puerto Rican will face Miriam Gutierrez (14-1, 6 KOs). In Tampa, there will also be a fight between Deron Williams and Frank Gore. The first is a former NBA league star, the second recently played successfully in the NFL.
