TOMORROW night’s Contender Gym show at the Trowbridge Civic Centre has been cancelled.
The Trowbridge bill was set to feature Contender fighters Liam Richards, Dan Blackwell, Ryan Wheeler, Rob Brown and Liam Hodson, who was set to make his professional debut.
Devon pair Chris Adaway and Christian Hoskin-Gomez were also set to be in action but the show has been pulled after both Richards and Blackwell withdrew will illness and Brown’s opponent Chris Ware pulled out, citing a twisted ankle.
Contender trainer Mark Kent promised that everyone that had purchased a ticket for Saturday’s show would be offered a refund.
“Everyone who bought a ticket will be given a refund. If they go back to wherever they got their tickets from, they’ll get their money back,” said Kent.
“We’ve had a lot of people struggling with this viral flu that has been going round – apparently it takes six weeks to shake it.
“Liam and Dan Blackwell have gone down with it and then Chris Ware went over on his ankle last night.”
