Vergil may have more pressing concerns than boxing.

This is extremely fishy. He pulled out of his last fight because of the fact that he could not make weight. Either he is on steroids or he simply cannot make weight.

Hoping for a full recovery with no major setbacks.

I wish Vergil a full and speedy recovery. It's probably the illness that he had a few months ago, but we don't know.

Hopefully he returns this year, because he's one of the more exciting welterweights.

Man that sucks. Ortiz needs a top level evaluation cause this might be serious

[Sctrojan]

Gutted to say the least but hopefully it's just a postponed and an injury not related to Rhabdo...

[Feroz]

Hope it isn't a life endangering illness like last time, hope he has a full speedy recovery. Odd that it happened four days after his birthday.

By the way Rick Glaser had confirmed it didn't involve VADA.

[JakeTheBoxer]

The guy probably can`t even make 147 anymore. he should move to 154.

Sounds serious so far out from the fight. WBA need to make Stanionis mandatory for Spence now and put deadline on fight being made.
