Chase DeMoor's Fight with Alex Pereira Cancelled Due to Injury
Chase DeMoor's upcoming fight against Alex Pereira has been cancelled due to an injury sustained during sparring. The announcement was made by Pereira's coach, Plinio Cruz, who indicated that DeMoor is not medically cleared to compete.
The fight was scheduled for September 26 as part of a Misfits Boxing event featuring other notable fighters. DeMoor reportedly suffered the injury after his recent WBC US Silver title win and has yet to receive medical clearance.
Cruz expressed his disappointment and mentioned his readiness to fight against a different opponent on the same card. Meanwhile, DeMoor responded by clarifying that he is still awaiting full medical approval, which is expected next week, and he disputed Cruz's claims regarding the nature of his injury.
