Melvin Guillard won’t be fighting at BKFC: Knuckle Mania 2 after all.
The Florida Athletic Commission and executive director Patrick Cunningham have denied BKFC’s bout proposal for a Feb. 19 matchup between Guillard and Ulysses Diaz due to “serious health concern,” according to a news release issued by the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) on Thursday.
“The Association of Boxing Commissions is comprised of regulatory agencies from around the country – agencies that must balance the promotion of the combative arts with safety and that requires making many tough decisions,” the ABC statement reads. “This week, the Florida Commission should be recognized for making one of those hard decisions: denying a fight that was proposed by Bare Knuckle Fight Championship (BKFC).”
