3150Fight has postponed its upcoming three-day fight series in Kyrgyzstan , citing “international instability” that led to logistical and travel issues. As best as I can tell through translation, the press release does not specify the instability, but the odds are pretty much 100% that it’s referring to the United States’ and Israel’s ongoing war with Iran.
The event was notably set to feature Luis Nery vs John Riel Casimero, plus the latest from David Jimenez and Kyonosuke Kameda. Willibaldo Garcia
vs Andrew Moloney was previously on the table, but recently got pushed back to this coming June.
This won’t be the last event impacted by the war, which has produced widespread damage to civilian infrastructure, fuel shortages, and significant travel complications throughout the Middle East and Asia. As the press release points out, it can and will continue to impact fighters’ ability to train in safety and the procurement of supplies necessary for staging shows.
Hopefully, boxing’s authorities will be more charitable towards the afflicted competitors than the WBC was towards Carlos Canizales.
