Romaeo-Fagan Off After Romeo Withdraws

By Elliot Foster

Romeo Romaeo has pulled out of his fight next week.

The Cardiff-based lightweight (10-0, 5 KOs) was set to take on Matty Fagan (8-1), of Ellesmere Port.

Romaeo and Fagan were scheduled to meet over eight rounds at York Hall on Thursday (June 9), at the top-of-the-bill on a Frank Warren-promoted non-TV card.

But it has been revealed that Romaeo has withdrawn from the fight because he wouldn’t be able to make the weight.

Fagan expressed his displeasure at the news of Romaeo’s withdrawal via a post on Facebook.

He wrote: “Well, Romeo Romaeo has pulled out [of the fight], the little f***ing p***y.

“Saying he can’t make the weight or hadn’t been in the gym –– well which one is it?

“I’m bang on the weight. You want to try losing over a stone in a month, f***ing p***y.

“I took the fight at the drop of a hat too.”

Fagan, since learning of Romaeo’s withdrawal, has boarded a flight and headed abroad for a break with his family.
