BoxingScene.com was advised by several sources, that WBC featherweight champion Elio Rojas injured his shoulder in training camp and is unlikely to move forward with his HBO televised unification clash with WBA champion Yuriorkis Gamboa. The fight is set for September 11 in Las Vegas.
The injury is yet another chapter in a string of bad luck for that particular card. Gamboa was originally scheduled to fight IBF champion Orlando Salido in July. Salido suffered a cut in his May win over Cristobal Cruz, and the injury did not heal in time to hold a proper training camp for the July date. A deal was later reached with promoter Don King for Rojas to step in but the fight was moved to a September date.
