(File / GFR Media) The streak of bad luck that has plagued boxer Felix Verdejo since last year continues. The undefeated Olympian, whose career has been paralyzed for months by injuries, accidents and other misfortunes outside the ring, injured his right wrist while showering in Big Bear Lake, California, and will return to the island. This was reported today to El Nuevo Dia Ricky Marquez, manager and coach of the world's contender at 135 pounds. "He slipped in the tub and when he fell he twisted his right wrist," Marquez said in a telephone interview with the newspaper. "We took him to a doctor in Big Bear and because of the swelling he told us he should be two to three weeks without using it. We returned to Puerto Rico today. " Márquez added that although the inflammation had dropped in the last hours, at first sight it was obvious that Verdejo will not be able to fight on September 22 as planned. "The main thing is going to be to immobilize him until he recovers. When he is recovered, we will see when we return to the ring, "explained Marquez. The team training at Big Bear, which includes prospects Henry 'Moncho' Lebrón and Jean Carlos 'Lobito' Torres, among others, will leave California in the afternoon and arrive on the island tomorrow at dawn. Verdejo, 24, was scheduled to face Antonio Lozada on September 22 in Tucson, Arizona. The Puerto Rican, 23-0 with 15 KOs, has not fought since February 2, when he defeated Oliver Flores by unanimous decision. That had been his first fight since his motorbike accident last August 7, 2016, an event that delayed him the opportunity to fight for a world title.
