Derry Mathews has expressed his disappointment after learning that his world title fight has been pushed back, as well as doubt over the reason for its postponement.
The likeable Liverpool lightweight, 32, had been set to take on WBO champion Terry Flanagan (29-0, 12 KOs) on February 13 at the ECHO Arena, live and exclusive on BoxNation. But Mathews (38-9-2, 20 KOs) will be forced to wait a little longer after the titlist withdrew from the fight through injury before securing a rescheduled date of March 12 at the original venue.
“I don’t think Terry’s injured,” Mathews told Boxing Scene when they caught up with him from his training base in Marbella, Spain. “I think he’s pulled out because he hasn’t prepared right, because he needs more time and because he’s struggling at the weight.”
