Daniel Jimenez update

Press Release: Daniel Jimenez, who was scheduled to meet Benjamin Flores in the eight-round junior lightweight co-feature on ShoBox last night had his bout cancelled when he failed to meet the State of Connecticut’s medical requirements. Promoter Gary Shaw said, “The State of Connecticut did the right thing.   There were some concerns by the State about his neurological tests. So, Jimenez will return to Puerto Rico for a complete battery of exams. If he is cleared to fight, we’ll come back to Connecticut to revisit the suspension. Right now, Jimenez is just devastated. He was prepared for a big night on Showtime and he’s devastated. But the health and safety of my fighters comes first.” Jiminez is 12-1-1 but the loss and draw came in his first two bouts.
