Burns vs Vazquez in doubt

[Kirkland Laing]

Ricky Burns' world title unification bout with Miguel Vazquez is in doubt.

[...]

Although promoter Frank Warren has insisted the bout will take place, it may be rescheduled for a later date, according to STV.
Burns had been due to fight first Liam Walsh and then Jose Ocampo last December but both pulled out at short notice.
His fight with Vazquez was announced in January but last month the Mexican cast doubt over whether it would go ahead.

'There is nothing concrete,' he said. 'I am waiting on the response from the promoters. If they come to an agreement, there will be a fight.'

First George Groves and now this. How can they not have a signed contract? Warren has lost one to two million a year for the past two years, he just went bust yet again and if this is true you've got to wonder if his new promotional company is falling apart. Anybody know how Box Nation is doing?

You have got to be kidding me?

Anytime I don't have to watch Vazquez fight is a cause for celebration.

I read this a couple of weeks ago but the Vazquez camp rubbished it. Here is a photo of him holding up the signed contract and proof of the written contract...

I now remember reading it. This is something I can't blame on short-term memory loss.

I just read. Wow I nearly bought tickets for this as well but the event was falling apart. Chisora still hasn't had his licence approved, Groves walks away from Warren and now they're saying Vazquez has an injury. Burns is pissed as this is the 3rd fight he's had fall through in the last few months.

I've just read Vazquez has had food poisoning and it wasn't an injury.

Hilarious.

Couple of weeks before fight Vazquez isn't happy about money, a week later he pulls out injured/ill

The most shocking thing is Liam Walsh wasn't brought in to save the show.

Burns rejected a replacement sasying at this stage of his career, unification is priority.

If only Ricky was in charge. I mean they had a chance at unification and turned it down and the highest pay by far of his career for this circus?

It was food poisioning and Vazquez had a legitimate doctors note for it, so I understand him not wanting to fight in two weeks time. However, read this Team Burns Furious With Warren: 'Relationship is Strained' - Boxing News Burns isnt not happy with Warren and the fight be rearranged again, apparently Burns' relationship with Warren is strained, so I wouldnt be surprised to see Burns jump ship to matchroom soon as well. Poor Frank will have no fighters left at this rate.
