Paddy Gallagher has suffered a broken jaw and has been forced to withdraw from his fight against former world title challenger Gary Corcoran on June 30.
Belfast welterweight ‘Pat-Man’ suffered the injury in one of his final sparring sessions before the huge card at The SSE Arena and will delay his bout with ‘Hellraiser’ Corcoran as he sets about rehabilitation.
Gallagher said: "It goes without saying that I’m gutted with what’s happened.
“I guess I’ll have to buy a ticket off myself and go and support all the lads as a spectator! Seeing them all fight will soften the blow.
“It’s just one of those things that can happen in the sport of boxing, unfortunately. I’ll come back more determined, stronger and better than ever.
“Myself against Gary Corcoran remains a massive fight and I hope it will happen before the end of the year.
“It may end up that when it does happen, the fight has even more on the line than it would have done. We will make this fight happen.”

WHy the tune ups fights never seem to be cancelled for injury. It seems to happen more in important fights.

I learnt a long time ago that boxing is great to watch, but awful to care about. Just try not to care about it and enjoy the good fights for what they are when they (occasionally) happen.

Is there any real reason for that to be the case?Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑23 Jun 2018, 14:47I learnt a long time ago that boxing is great to watch, but awful to care about. Just try not to care about it and enjoy the good fights for what they are when they (occasionally) happen.
It seems crazy to me that the awful way that boxing is run makes financial sense.
If normal people punished crap fights more then boxing could work.
It's the people who make boxing shite. It's the people who make the world shite.
