Former WBO light heavyweight champion Juegen Braehmer has issued a statement regarding his third straight cancellation of a title defense, which resulted in his title being stripped and awarded to interim champion Nathan Cleverly.
Dear fans and friends in boxing,
I am profoundly unhappy during these days. I trained very hard for this fight and my fight preparations were outstanding. On Tuesday, 5/17 I suffered an old injury again. This occurred at the final sparring. My doctors gave me the feedback that the stitches in the cut on the eyelid couldn’t come out until the following week on Tuesday.
Finally I thank all my fans who wanted to support me in England. I regret very much that you were inconvenienced due to the fight cancellation. These events will not keep me from continuing! I’ve always been a fighter and still haven’t reached where I want to be.
Yours, Juergen

Whether Braehmer actually received the cut while sparring is in dispute. BILD is reporting that the cut was supposedly reopened by a towel after a shower. The former champ has been unreachable since Wednesday
