BURY'S boxing champion Ady Lewis will not defend his British Flyweight title on May 15 at Everton Parks Sports Centre.
The shock news was announced after his opponent, Commonwealth title holder, Peter Culshaw, pulled out of the fight with suspected broken ribs.
Ady's camp,at Tara Sports and Leisure in Shaw, were extremely disappointed as the Mighty Atom has spent months preparing for the fight.
It is up to promoter Frank Warren to arrange a new opponent for Ady and it is believed his first defence may be scheduled for July although nothing has yet been confirmed.
The ticket's people have already purchased for Everton will be transferrable for the rearranged fight.
