With his 2nd world title fight looming in a 2nd weight class, Paul Butler has had to put his plans of becoming a 2-weight world champion in the same year on hold as IBF Super Flyweight titleholder Zolani Tete has withdrawn with an injury.
Tete was set to travel from South Africa to Liverpool for their October 25th clash, but a broken hand sustained in training leaves him out of action.
Tete has broken the 2nd metacarpel in his left hand and a new date will be announced shortly.
However Butler will still be present on the 25th as Frank Warren looks for an opponent to step in at relatively short notice.
That shouldnt take away from what is a great card at the Echo Arena. Liam Smith is in action while Derry Matthews and Adam Dingsdale square off. Tom Stalker takes on fellow unbeaten Jack Catterall and Kevin Satchell takes aim at the European Flyweight title. Also Ovill McKenzie should provide more thrills against Matty Askin. Chris Eubank Jr stars against Jez Wilson.
