James Kirkland-Marcos Hernandez Bout Hit By Coronavirus!
First it was the NBA suspending its regular season until further notice. Next, the NHL, MLB and NCAA would follow suit icing their upcoming regular season, spring training and postseason March Madness tournaments due to coronavirus outbreak!
Well boxing, now unfortunately it’s your turn! The upcoming March 14 Oxion Hill, Maryland card headlined by the power-punching Texas native James Kirkland (34-2, 30KOs) taking on Marcos Hernandez (14-3-1, 3KOs) is the latest casualty.
While this may not get fans in an uproar, it’s still unfortunate. Fight fans in the Maryland area that purchased tickets to the fight will now have to make other plans. This may not be a huge fight, but let’s be clear: this is and will not be the only fight to be postponed or all out cancelled due to this pandemic.
With no clear indication of a resolution coming soon, it’s looking like it’ll be a quiet spring/summer when it comes to sports.
3kingsboxing.com will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
