Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic announced today on his website that he will not be participating on any of the December 31st shows. Here is the press release:
"Today, I, Mirko Cro Cop, have an important message to announce.
I have decided not to participate in any event as a fighter on Dec. 31st. I have been adviced by my physician, Dr. Bucan, to refrain from intense training for 2 weeks and to allow my back to recuperate from injury that has been bothering me for a while. I have decided to take his advice seriously this time and to nourish my body in order to fully recover and to prepare for 2004.
From now on I will be communicating with any promoters directly, for year 2004, offers.
I will be totally fresh mentally and physically next year, and I will fulfill my promise to become the champion and meet your expectations. Thank you very much for all of your support.
Sincerely, Mirko Cro Cop"
