Hughie Fury has pulled out of his world heavyweight title fight against Joseph Parker after suffering an injury.
The 22-year-old, who is former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury's cousin, was scheduled to face WBO champion Parker in Auckland, New Zealand, on May 6, in his first world title fight.
Parker's promotional company, Duco Events, said in a statement that work was already under way to secure a replacement.
"Duco Events was today notified by the World Boxing Organisation that mandatory No 1 challenger Hughie Fury has an injury, and will be unable to challenge champion Joseph Parker for the Heavyweight Title on May 6 in Auckland," the statement read.
