Probably for the best, that coulda hurt

I really believe that.

We were supposed to be getting this fight on the Froch-Kessler PPV show

Typical Eddie...

First ever withdrawal for Bute in 300 amateur fights and ten years as a pro.

You cant fake surgery, so it's legit.

My right wrist is still knackered now after 3 years of injuring it. I think i've got a bone damaged in my wrist too.

Word on the scene is that Shuemenov might step in.

Gutted. This was a really interesting, and likely compelling match.

Certainly an excellent replacement if it comes off.

I take it Bute is going to stay at Light Heavyweight. I think his loss to Froch may haunt him in the future. He will still have IBF ranking so some good fights up there for him aint there.
