Het gevecht tussen Rico Verhoeven en Jamal Ben Saddik van aankomende zaterdag is in het water gevallen. De Belgisch-Marokkaanse kickbokser moest zich gisterenvoor de partij afmelden na het oplopen van een blessure.
Op Instagram reageert Ben Saddik op de situatie:
“With a heavy heart I have to announce that my fight on January 30th is cancelled. Due to a serious back injury, I have been instructed by my medical team that the risks of permanent health damage are too high. Right now, I feel extremely disappointed and sad but I’m determined to come back even stronger. Yesterday, I already started my first treatment in the hospital. My full focus is on my recovery. Finally, I want to thank my fans for their continued support. This fight will happen insha’Allah”
Het is nog niet bekend wie de nieuwe tegenstander van Rico Verhoeven wordt.
