“Houston…we have a problem!”

A rib injury during a sparring session, temporarily prevents former world champion José Luis Castillo exhibiting his skills against Hall of Famer Marco Antonio Barrera, in an exhibition that was scheduled on October 29 at the Arena Theater in Houston, Texas.

With insufficient time for full recovery due to medical safety, the promoter Boxing Showcase has postponed the exhibition to a date to be designated. The events objective is to raise funds for and support amateur boxing.
The fights that were agreed for the third day of the National tournament “The Big Belt Championship” will be rescheduled in November for the semi-final stage.
