Fan favorite Daniel Valdivia of Tulare, California will not be fighting in Arizona on this weekend’s Iron Boy card as he informed fans via social media. The popular fighter expressed his sadness over not being able to fight via his Facebook page which is quoted below. Last year, Valdivia won the NABF title in Lemoore, CA at Tachi Palace against Jeremy Ramos.

Here is what Valdivia posted on social media

“Attention Everyone. It dishearten, disappoints and hurts me to say that I will not be fighting this Saturday in Arizona. My opponent Janks Trotter from Canada suffered a knee injury in training and will not be able to compete. My manager my team and iron boy tried everything possible to find a new opponent but on such short notice it was virtually impossible. Team Chapulin worked so hard for this fight. These are things that happen in professional boxing. It’s never happened to me and I don’t know how to take it. I was super ready for this guy. It was going to be a statement fight. All I can say is that I am sorry to everybody and We must move on. Thank you all so much for the support. We will be back soon. God bless you all and have a great night.”
