Rivera-Damgaard Off....Again

WBA (regular) welterweight champ Jose Antonio Rivera's bad luck continues as a sever case of pneumonia has forced mandatory challenger Thomas Damgaard to withdraw from their scheduled April 2 bout, which was all set to take place as the co-feature to the cruiserweight championship fight between Wayne Braithwaite and Jean Marc Mormeck. Rivera is still expected to see action in front of his hometown fans, but no replacement has yet been solidified.
