Montreal, Monday April 8, 2024 — Erik Bazinyan, who has been suffering from sinusitis for a few days, Eye of the Tiger has decided to postpone its gala scheduled for April 11, where his protégé was supposed to face Shakeel Phinn for the NABF and WBA International super-middleweight titles, to Thursday, May 2 at the Cabaret du Casino de Montréal.
“We waited a few days before making the decision, hoping that his antibiotics would help him recover, but unfortunately, that’s not the case, and he’s still too unwell,” said EOTTM general manager Antonin Décarie. “However, we are relieved to be able to offer boxing fans this long-awaited fight within a reasonable timeframe,” he added.
The full card for the May 2 event, which will be broadcast live on Punching Grace, TVA Sports, and ESPN+, will be announced later.
