Former WBO light heavyweight champion Eleider Alvarez (pictured) was injured in training last week. Last Tuesday he met with Dr. Francis Fontaine, who diagnosed a right shoulder injury to the right. The doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory treatments, physiotherapy and no sparring for four weeks. Unfortunately, this injury forces the postponement of Alvarez's fight against Joe Smith Jr, part of a four-man WBO light heavyweight elimination tournament. Alvarez-Smith was planned for Las Vegas on ESPN on July 16th.
