The scheduled 6-round boxing match set to take place this Saturday at the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center in Birmingham, Ala. between former UFC champ Tim Sylvia and former Boxing champ Ray Mercer has been scrapped.
The bout set to take place in a cage as the headlining fight for Adrenaline’s third show, will now be under MMA rules.
According to various media outlets Monte Cox failed to secure regulation by a U.S. Commission. The Association of Boxing Commission issued a press release calling the bout “unwarranted and illegal” forcing Cox to make the last minute change.
