Ohter previously announced undercard fights also remain unchanged.

Boxxer founder and CEO Ben Shalom said: “Injuries are part of the sport. While it’s disappointing to reschedule, the safety of our fighters must always come first. Jeamie suffered an injury in training and the medical advice was he can’t compete. I’ve spoken to both fighters and of course they’re disappointed but it means there’s an extra edge to the fight on November 29th. Frazer feels he’s ready to win right now and is frustrated at having to completely change his training plan. Jeamie will be desperate to prove he’s fighting fit and capable of beating Frazer. They have been quite respectful of each other up to now, but it feels like that’s changing as emotions are running high on both sides.”
