In the weekly Boxing News email one of the news articles this week is something entitled 'Bad news for Alex Arthur'
Could this be what we finally expect and Guzman has pulled out?

Apr 21 08,

Alex Arthur, the WBO interim super-featherweight champion from Edinburgh, yesterday moved to quash rumours that he is set to withdraw from his scheduled world title bout with champion Joan Guzman of the Dominican Republic.

Arthur was reacting to claims that he has suffered an undisclosed injury ahead of the May 3 contest at Meadowbank Sports Arena following a period of intensive training in America.

The 29-year-old challenger dismissed such claims as "complete nonsense", insisting: "It is time to quash these mischievous rumours once and for all. There is no foundation to them whatsoever.

Lol. You can be sure that when Arthur loses, he definitely 'wasn't right' in there, shaking off a 'nasty infection' with training having 'not gone great' etc etc etc.
