Groves vs. Di Luisa: Luke Keeler's Return Falls Through
By Elliot Foster
Luke Keeler has been ruled out of his next fight.
The 28-year-old Prizefighter semi-finalist (9-1, 5 KOs) had been set to appear on the undercard of George Groves’ return against Andrea Di Luisa on January 30.
But Keeler was forced out of his showing on the multi-title bill at London’s Copper Box Arena after it “fell through.”
“[I] have to really apologise to those who [have] already booked flights and got tickets,” he wrote on Facebook.
“I’m sick over that the most and sorry again to those [who] booked on, but will keep training hard and will have [a] new date confirmed [as] soon as possible.
However, after revealing the disappointing news to his adoring fans on social media, he was upbeat about the future, adding that he expects to be out at least twice more in the first quarter of the new year.
“[I] have a Matchroom date in [an] eight-round fight [at the] start of March and [am] working on a new fight [for] early February, so will stay busy.”
Boxing Scene understands that Keeler has been tabbed as a potential addition to Eddie Hearn’s next Birmingham show, which is set for March 5.
Further details will be confirmed in due course.
