Thread: Ahh crap...Dirrell injured during training...fight postponed...

Super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell revealed tonight to radio host Marc Lichtenfeld on his weekly “Through the Ropes” radio show that he injured his back earlier this week while sparring and will see a specialist tomorrow. Dirrell said he has previously thrown out his back and expects to be out for one week to two weeks. Nothing official as far as a new date for his scheduled March 6th SUPER SIX fight against Arthur Abraham on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, however a media conference call scheduled for Friday was cancelled. More will be resolved Friday.

sucks! i ben looking forward to a good fight. despite what some people have said, i think it will be a great match up.

On a positive note... Pascal is fighting Dawson... Hopefully with two good shoulders.

With a touch of chance it won't be serious and if the fight is delayed, it won't be by too many weeks.

It must have been while he was practicing his fall to the canvas move. On a more serious note, I hope he heals quickly and we get this fight going.

I was thinking the same thing. An article I read said he injured it in sparring. Sparring? Weights I have heard of and have done it myself with deadlifts... but sparring?
