Derek Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev 2 undercard fight scrapped hours before event

Felix Cash has withdrawn from his fight on the undercard of Derek Chisora 's rematch with Kubrat Pulev tonight just hours before the event takes place.

Cash, 29, was scheduled to defend his international middleweight title against Vaughn Alexander at The O2 arena, but the Brit has been forced to pull out of the fight with a stomach bug. In a lengthy statement he posted to Instagram, Cash revealed his stomach bug has worsened throughout fight week and he vomited several times before weighing in on Friday afternoon.

"I want to address the situation here before any speculation. I have completed a 12 week camp, the camp was great with my team, sparring went to plan," he wrote. Wednesday during fight week I had a stomach bug that felt nothing out of the ordinary.
