Illness Knocks Archuleta Off Dec. 11 Card

Featherweight Frankie Archuleta has pulled himself off the December 11th pay-per-view card headlining Vitali Klitschko and Danny Williams.  Archuleta was scheduled to take on Jesus Perez. Archuleta became ill after his win Saturday night, when he defeated Luis Perez in his hometown of Las Vegas, New Mexico.

"After fighting on Saturday ,Frankie came down with a severe cold. And feels he could not be at 100% by fight time. We will wait till Frankie feels better and look at all options, he has had several offers including fighting Scott Harrison for the WBO world title. We will keep our options open, but at this time we just want Frankie to get well and get back in the gym," said Lenny Fresquez of Fresquez Productions, promoter of Boxingtalk's # 28 featherweight.
