Floyd Mayweather's opponent for his UK debut Liam Harrison has pulled out of their scheduled exhibition bout within just seven hours of the fight being announced.
The legendary 50-0 boxer was due to face popular eight-time Muay-Thai world champion Harrison, but the Brit has pulled out citing injury, as well as not having a signed contract, as the reason. Tickets are due to go on sale for the event, which takes place at The O2 arena in London on February 25, next week but a new opponent must be found now with just over a month's notice.
Mayweather announced the bout in the middle of the night on his Instagram page with a message declaring that he would be putting tickets on sale next week. But it remains to be seen if he will push forward with the event, which was initially supposed to see him take on YouTuber AnEsonGib, or move the date back.
