One of the boxers scheduled to compete on the undercard of the fight between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor has been removed from the card due to personal issues.
Mayweather Promotions recently announced that Shawn Porter will not be competing next Saturday in Las Vegas. Porter recently suffered a death in his family and will not be able to fight.
“On behalf of Mayweather Promotions we send our prayers and deepest condolences to the Porter family,” Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, said in the press release.
“In boxing we have to deal with curveballs that constantly come at us. Thomas Dulorme has been training hard and is ready to face Yordenis Ugas. Ugas is a tough competitor that shouldn’t be overlooked, and Dulorme is ready. The fight fans are definitely in for an outstanding show between Dulorme and Ugas come Aug. 26.”
Mayweather vs. McGregor will take place Aug. 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
