Derry Mathews Will Now Face Tony Luis in WBA Clash

•Apr 14, 2015

Derry Mathews was scheduled to face Ismael Barroso this weekend in in Liverpool, England at the Echo Arena for the WBA interim-lightweight title. But things hit a snag on Monday, according to Greg Cohen who promotes Barroso. "The people at Frank Warren came to me - he's the promoter of the event - they didn't tell me till yesterday that (Barroso) needed a visa," BoxingScene was told by the veteran promoter, who exhausted all avenues to secure one for his boxer."I went to Top Rank, I asked who their specialist was, they gave him to me. To make a long story shot, I couldn't get it done."

Derry Mathews must now face Venezuelan KO king Ismael Barroso for the Interim WBA World Lightweight Championship on Saturday 18th April at the Echo Arena after the Champion Richar Abril was forced to withdraw again through illness. Mathews versus Barroso headlines a triple-title card alongside Liam Smith’s challenge for the Vacant WBO Intercontinental Light-Middleweight Championship against David Ezequiel Romero plus the clash for the Vacant British Flyweight Championship between Iain Butcher and Luke Wilton, live and exclusive on BoxNation. Abril was forced to withdraw from his title defence against Mathews in March after coming down with dengue fever from a mosquito bite, but has been forced to withdraw again as he is still reeling from the after-effects of the virus that has left him unable to train.

According to sources with knowledge of the details, BoxingScene.com has been advised that WBA lightweight champion Richar Abril (19-3-1, 8KOs) will not go forward with his scheduled fight against Derry Mathews (37-9-2, 20KOs) on April 18th at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. This would mark the second time where Abril withdrew from the Mathews fight and the Cuban fighter has withdrawn from other scheduled contests as well. The WBA is reportedly going to strip Abril and make him a "champion in recess" for inactivity. Abril has barely been averaging one fight per year.
