The exciting fight between Armenian boxer Noel Mikaelian (27-2) and Canadian Ryan Rozicki (20-1), which was scheduled to take place on June 7 in Miami, has unfortunately been postponed. The reason was an eye injury that Mikaelyan sustained during sparring.
This fight was highly anticipated, as Noel Mikaelian (also known as Norayr) was set to defend his WBC world champion title for the first time. The event's organizer was the legendary promoter Don King, who brought fame to such outstanding boxers as Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.
Mikaelian and Rozicki had already conducted a stare-down and a press conference under Don King's supervision, which only heightened interest in the upcoming fight. Both fighters demonstrated serious intent and readiness to battle, promising the audience a spectacular and intense fight.
An eye injury is a serious matter, and Mikaelian will need time for full recovery. The new fight date has not yet been announced, but boxing fans hope that Mikaelian will recover quickly and return to the ring.
Don King expressed his regret about the fight's postponement but noted that the safety and health of the boxers are a priority. He also assured that everything possible will be done to organize a new fight date as soon as possible.
