Undercard a fight shorter for heavyweight boxing bout between Kiwi Joseph Parker and Alexander Flores
The undercard for this month's heavyweight boxing bout between Kiwi Joseph Parker and Mexican American Alexander Flores will be a fight shorter
6 December 2018
Organisers Duco Events forced all boxers to undergo MRI scans, following recent controversies around head injuries in New Zealand boxing.
One of those has revealed that Commonwealth Games boxer Richie Hadlow has an issue with his brain, and therefore won't be able to fight.
Duco boss David Higgins says while it means they're a bout down, it reaffirms they made the right call.
He says he's relieved they did take the step as it means they picked up the issue.
