The Ultimate Fighting Championship bout was scheduled for June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but was postponed due to a torn meniscus in the Canadian boxer.
"Dear friends, welcome everyone. Unfortunately, injuries in professional sports are not at all uncommon and no one is immune to them. I sincerely did not want the upcoming fight to be postponed, but the doctors insisted on the postponement.
Thank you to everyone who has already bought tickets, this fight will definitely take place, but a little later. Thank you all for your support," Beterbiev wrote in Instagram.
