Wrist injury pumigil sa Garcia-Anpo fight

Wrist injury sa training ang dahilan kaya ipinagpaliban ang exhibition showdown ng American boxer Ryan Garcia at Japanese kickboxing champion Rukiya Anpo na nakatakda sa Disyembre 30 sa Tokyo.

Sinabi ng promoter Linggo na ang event ay muling naka iskedyol anong araw ngayong 2025.

“I saw Mr. Ryan Garcia on December 12 for recently aggravated bilateral wrist pain,”Wika ni specialist Dr. Steven Shin ng Los Angeles.

“I recommend that he hold off on sparring and boxing matches for several weeks. Treatment options will be discussed with Mr. Garcia after further evaluation.”

Hindi sinabi sa statement ang detalye kung anong wrist ang nasaktan nang ianunsyo ang pagpapaliban.

“I’ve been eagerly preparing for my upcoming exhibition fight in Japan, training hard in Dallas over the past several weeks,” Wika ni Garcia.

“Unfortunately, I sustained a hand injury during training and returned to Los Angeles to be seen by the doctor, who has advised me to postpone my December 30 exhibition.”

Humingi ng paumanhin si Garcia sa pagkaantala.

Hindi rin masaya si Anpo tungkol sa pagpapaliban.

“I am disappointed to say the least, but knocking out an injured opponent won’t mean anything, so I wish him a speedy recovery and hope I can face the 100 percent version of Ryan Garcia,” tugon ni Anpo.
