Tim Tszyu - Vergil Ortiz Interim WBA Super Welterweight Title Showdown Cancelled Due to Delay In Tszyu Wound Recovery

The highly anticipated WBA super welterweight interim world title showdown between former WBO champion Tim Tszyu and knockout perfectionist Vergil Ortiz — scheduled for Saturday, August 3 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California (Sunday, August 4 in Australia) - has been cancelled with medical advice provided to Tszyu requiring him take additional time for his head wound to heal.

No Limit CEO George Rose said: “We are bitterly disappointed with the set back and Tim is extremely frustrated after a great Pre-camp with Kostya. He showed everyone that he’ll fight through anything against Fundora but this decision was taken out of his hands to be honest. Ultimately, it was his body and medical professionals telling him he wasn’t ready yet.”

Additional details of when Tszyu will be able to return to the ring will be provided by No Limit Boxing in the future.
