Floyd Mayweather Jr. Injured!

Floyd Mayweather Jr's July 18 bout with Juan Manuel Marquez is postponed. Mayweather injured his rib during training camp.

There have been rumors that Floyd didn't really injure himself and the cancellation of the fight is due to bad pre-fight ticket sales. But that's only speculation. No news yet on whether the fight will be rescheduled, or if it will be rescheduled at all.

This summer was shaping up to be a memorable time for boxing fans; first David Haye, now Mayweather Jr.

David Haye Injury Update

Apparently David Haye's injury had nothing to do with his hand, but rather, his back.

Wladimir Klitschko does not want to wait around until David Haye is healthy enough to fight, according to Reuters. Instead, Klitschko wants Ruslan Chagaev.

If Klitschko does wait until David Haye is healthy, the proposed date for the bout would be July 11 - only three weeks later than the original date, June 20; this according to Haye's manager, Adam Booth.

David Haye Injured - Bout To Be Rescheduled

Unfortunate news. David Haye reportedly hurt his hand, according to Setanta Sports. The bout, originally scheduled to take place in Germany, June 20 will have to be pushed back to a later date.

The bout hasn't been officially called off yet, as reports of Haye's hand injury are still sketchy. Depending on the severity of the injury would ultimately dictate whether or not Wladimir Klitschko will fight someone else before the match is rescheduled.
