Christina Hammer has an undisclosed medical issue that has postponed her November 17th middleweight unification bout with Claressa Shields in Atlantic City, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
“I told Claressa that I will have all the discussions necessary with all the relevant parties to try meet her desire to fight in 2018, but those discussions haven’t taken place yet,” Mark Taffet, Shields’ manager, told ESPN.
“We were informed it is not an injury but a medical condition for which she will be treated and expects to fully recover,” Taffet said. “We are just beginning discussions with Hammer’s team, [Shields’ promoter] Salita Promotions, Showtime and Boardwalk Hall so we have nothing further to report at this time.”
