Cedric Boswell Out with Torn Rotator Cuff

Thursday's Fight with Tye Fields Cancelled

Heavyweight Cedric Boswell has informed Boxingtalk that his scheduled fight with Tye Fields this Thursday is off.  "I have a slight tear in my rotator cuff that happened during training," said Boswell.  "I’ve been having problems with it for the past 3 months, and the results we just got back from the MRI said it is torn."  When asked about having surgery to repair the tear Boswell replied, "I don't have time for surgery.  I will go through rehab instead to try and build up muscles around it."  Boswell said he does not know how long the rehab will keep him out of the ring, but he knows he can't do anything but the exercises the doctor prescribed for at least 30 days.
