On May 9, 2022, Beijing time, according to European and American boxing media nightTV, the match between former WBO middleweight world champion Demetrius Andrade and WBO superweight number one boxer Zach Parker has been officially postponed, so Zach Parker's desire to play at the home of his beloved team, Derby County Football Club, has also been completely shattered.
According to Frank Warren, the promoter of the competition and known as the "European Don King", the main reason for the postponement of the competition was due to a serious shoulder injury to Demetrius Andrade. Considering that the race was less than two weeks away (the race was originally scheduled to take place on 21 May 2022), it was simply not possible for DmitryUs Andrade to recover anytime soon, so the race was postponed.
Because the Fifa World Cup will be held in Qatar in the Middle East in November and December this year, the British football leagues at all levels will be held in July. Pride Park stadium will also not be able to host other sporting events.
Frank Warren told reporters: "Unfortunately, we have to abandon our plans to play at Pride Park. Remember that we have sold about 15,000 tickets and gone through all the formalities, including medical clearances. The problem is that after missing this tournament schedule, it's football season, so we can only say goodbye to Pride Park. There were people who questioned why we sold tickets so expensive because I thought these two boxers were the best in the super middleweight. They're worth the price, don't think it's expensive, we've sold about 15,000 tickets, proving the game is worth it. ”
Zach Parker, 27, has a record of 22 wins in his career to date, but most of his career has been played in small stadiums. In 2018, Zach Parker became known for his tough game, in which he insisted on playing the entire match with one hand after dislocation of his shoulder, and finally defeated Darryll Williams by a divisive decision to win the Title of British Boxing Champion.
Last March, Zach Parker signed up for Frank Warren's Queensbury Boxing Promotion Company. After signing, Frank Warren won the treasure and did not miss any opportunity to tout Zach Parker. Frank Warren said, "Do you believe it? I never knew who Zach Parker was before signing. But when I saw Zach Parker, I couldn't believe that such a talent could be overlooked by us, and it can be said that Zach Parker was one of the best boxers I have ever worked with. ”
And for former WBO middleweight world champion Dmitryus Andrad, although it's unclear how badly his shoulder injury is. However, it is reported that there are many problems that need to be solved at present, not only limited to injuries.
After defeating Irish boxer Jason Quigley for the fifth time last November after defeating Irish boxer Jason Quigley for the fifth time, Demetrius Andrad received official WBO assurances that he could rise to the super midweight as a mandatory challenger for the WBO Super Middleweight.
I believe that friends who are familiar with professional boxing know what this guarantee means, it means that you can challenge Sule Avarez (the current WBO MiddleWeight World Champion), it means that you can play directly in the main match of DAZN's live broadcast, which means that you can earn a lot of money regardless of whether you win or lose. However, even with the same tournament promoter as Sur Avarez, Eddie Herne, Dmitryus Andrade did not have much of an advantage.
In the end, Dmitryus Andrade could only watch the new match plan drawn up by Sur Avarez: there was a cross-level to challenge the light heavyweight world champion Dimitri Biver, there was a heavyweight old opponent Gennady Golovkin, but he was the American who had been chasing Sur Avarez from the super middleweights.
Dmitrias Andrade was disappointed, and he didn't care if Zach Parker was good or not, because Zach Parker was not the opponent that Dmitrias Andrade wanted to play against. It was reported that after attending the press conference with Eddie Hearne for the postponement of the match, Dmitry Andrad had broken up with Eddie Hearn and would soon terminate his contract with Eddie Hearn's Athletic Room Boxing Promotion Company.
Perhaps in the eyes of Dmitryus Andrade, Eddie Hearn's inability to arrange a suitable opponent for himself is a waste of his time, a waste of his life.
