Super six has gone downhill fast
Andre Dirrell has become the latest fighter to drop out of the World Super Six Boxing Classic due to an undisclosed injury.
The American was due to fight good friend and current WBA super-middleweight champion Andre Ward on November 27 in the next round of the beleaguered event.
However, 'The Matrix' has reportedly been suffering headaches and dizzy spells following his victory over Arthur Abraham in March, when the German was disqualified for striking his opponent on a break.
Dirrell, who lost a controversial points decision to Carl Froch in the opening round of the Super Six, is now likely to be replaced in the event although a name has yet to be put forward.
Jermain Taylor and Mikkel Kessler have already been forced to drop out of the tournament with Allan Green and most recently Glen Johnson filling their boots.
