Three consecutive nights of fights in Kyrgyzstan that were scheduled for mid-April have been postponed, the promoter announced today.
“We have decided to postpone the event after taking into comprehensive consideration the rapid changes in the current international situation and the various impacts that come with them,” a press release on 3150Fight’s website said, via Google Translate. The company is run by Koki Kameda, a retired former titleholder from Japan.
The boxing events were supposed to take place from April 17-19.
The headliner on April 17 would have been a featherweight bout between Adrian Maximiliano Robledo, 12-1 (6 KOs), and Kyonosuke Kameda, 16-5-2 (9 KOs), who is Koki’s cousin.
On April 18, Luis Nery, 37-2 (28 KOs), and John Riel Casimero, 35-5-1 (24 KOs), would have faced each other.
On April 19, David Jimenez, 18-1 (12 KOs), would have defended his secondary WBA junior bantamweight belt against Ayumu Sano, 11-0-1 (5 KOs).
“Details regarding the rescheduled dates and matchups will be announced on the official website and in a press release as soon as coordination with all relevant parties is complete, while carefully monitoring the evolving international situation,” the press release said.
