The fight will be rescheduled for the near future.
The world champion under version WBO in the second Featherweight Jamela of herring last week revealed Covid-19. His test showed a positive result, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Country.
Therefore, the second protection of herring in the WBO Featherweight title against Jonathan Oquendo, scheduled for July 2 in Las Vegas, has been postponed indefinitely.
“Last week I had a positive result on Covid-19. This is bad news. The good news is that I feel good and I will be in isolation until you feel better. My defense of the WBO lightweight title against Jonathan Oquendo will be rescheduled for the near future,” said herring in his Twitter microblog.
With his fight needing to be rescheduled due to a positive COVID-19 test, @JamelHerring says July 14 is “the best case scenario right now” 📆
