Sam Goodman's boxing match against Naoya Inoue has been canceled for the second time due to a reopened cut above his eye. South Korean fighter Ye Joon Kim will step in on short notice to face Inoue for the title.
Incredibly, the fight has now been called off again just two weeks out from their newly planned date. Goodman has incredibly suffered the same injury, a cut above his eye which reopened in a new sparring session. His promoter No Limit Boxing released a statement which read: “No Limit Boxing regrets to announce that Sam Goodman has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout against Inoue will now face South Korean Ye Joon Kim who has stepped in on short notice to accept the title fight.
Kim is ranked No.11 with the WBO but is not present in any of the governing bodies’ rankings, but all four belts are expected to be at stake. It is a truly devastating moment for Goodman, who has been preparing tirelessly for the biggest night of his professional career. “After everything Sam went through the first time around, and now to have it happen again … I really don’t know what to say.'All the sacrifices Sam has made. It only happened this morning. “We’ll now have to try and get him in for plastic surgery in the next 24 hours to have any hope of ensuring this mends.“For this to open like it has again, he’s obviously got soft skin there that we need to look at.”And Rose has explained just how badly the star reacted after learning the news was bad for the second consecutive occasion
