The return of former IBF lightweight champion Paul Spadafora (41-0, 16KOs) has been postponed after the fighter suffered an injury on Monday. The comeback bout was scheduled for March 31 at the Hilton Hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Spadafora, 33, fell down some steps and injured his ankle. He is currently using crutches to walk and should be able to get back to training in two to three weeks time.
"It's very disappointing," Spadafora told WTAE Channel 4. "I got up in the morning Monday to go running and I fell down the steps. You can't run, you can't train, you can't spar, so I cant fight. I'm not going to go in front of nobody -- from my hometown especially -- and I'm not going to go in front of no man who's trying to take my head off without being able to be prepared for it. It's just another setback."
