Update: Latest from Tahiti is that Zoltan Petranyi now has a new plane ticket and will leave from Papetee on Thursday and will be back home in Budapest on Friday night.
UBO European heavyweight champion Zoltan Petranyi (51-20) was all set to defend the title against Temoo Tamaitiahio (5-1) Friday (Nov 28) night in Papetee on the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia but then pulled out of the fight as the ring was full of bumps and holes.
Petranyi writes that he arrived to Papetee almost a week before the fight and hurt his foot in the same ring during his first training. The ring was later repaired but Zoltan still felt it was too dangerous to go through with the fight and that killed the main event on this promotion staged by Rodrigue Ah-Min. Papetee is a long way from Budapest (Hungary) and the promoter was far from happy and threatened to cancel the plane ticket home for Petranyi - and apparently did so and as of this evening (December 1) Petranyi still isn´t back in Hungary.
