Well that ends that.

Oezdemir can't leave the country as per conditions of his class 3 felony case. Ponzi broke his thumb in sparring.

No word on replacement fights yet.

Anyone know why Volkan can't leave the country to go to Chile but can leave the country to go to Germany? Is it just a timing thing with the case or what?

It might have been due to vaccination requirements. There are some countries where you are required to take certain shots before entering the country.

@Franklin he's actually not cleared to fly to germany. His legal team are just betting that they.will have the charge cleared or negotiated by the time Hamburg rolls around. So yeah, theres still a chance this bout could be off again.
