FIGHTS falling through are not uncommon, though not usually immediately before the combatants are due to climb through the ropes. That was the case at Indigo at the O2 on Friday night when Josh Kelly’s scheduled return against Xhuljo Vrenozi was pulled at the last minute. His first bout back since his defeat to David Avanesyan for the European title in February 2021 will now be in Liverpool on June 17.
Kelly apologised to the crowd.
