Gianfranco Rosi fell and broke his left collarbone and will be unable to defend his World Boxing Council super welterweight title against American challenger Donald Curry in San Remo, Italy.
The Italian news agency ANSA said that the scheduled April 15 title fight had been postponed and that organizers said it possibly will be rescheduled in July.
Rosi’s trainer, Giovanni Bocciolini, told the agency that Rosi was injured Friday evening when he fell while playing soccer with some friends. He said the soccer game was a training exercise for Rosi.
Curry, of Fort Worth, Tex., is the second-ranked WBC challenger in the super welterweight class behind John Mugabi of Uganda.
