    From the Gentleman

    I am sorry to have to announce that I won't be boxing on May 5th. I have picked up an injury in the build up to this fight. We tried to work through it but soon realised I wouldn't be able to perform the training needed to prepare for this fight. After coming back to London immediately and seeking medical advice I hope that this problem will be sorted soon and will only be a short delay. I am truly sorry to everyone involved who will be affected by this. This is without doubt the toughest decision I have ever had to make, I am gutted but nothing worth having is given away. It has only made me more determined to achieve my goal of becoming world champion. Thanks to everyone again for their continued support in my journey. x

    Sickest sense of irony I've seen in a while. Gutted for him to be honest. I wonder is Degale will get the call?

    This is the second time Stieglitz is left without opponent for his WBO title. Let's hope that he won't fight another bum. I hope Johnson, Bika or Andre Dirrell gets the shot.

    It will be Degale or Smith.

    Steiglitz even offered Dodson a shot when the Sartison fight fell through but Gevor ended up getting the shot because Dodson moved up to LHW

    Kelly Pavlik or Arthur Abraham might get the next shot at Stieglitz WBO belt
