Heavyweight Fres Oquendo injured his shoulder that will force him to postpone his October 17 rematch with Ruslan Chagaev in Germany, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“He injured his shoulder sparring, which has been confirmed by an MRI,” Square Ring CEO John Wirt, Oquendo’s co-promoter with Bobby Hitz, told ESPN.com on Tuesday.
“Technically, (it is) a likely anterior labral tear. I haven’t heard yet how long he’s going to be out, but I have been hearing that surgery may be required. It’s really unfortunate because he was in fantastic shape and we were a little over a week from flying to Germany.”
