In a shocking turn of events for fight fans, UFC superstar Molly McCann's transition to the boxing ring has hit a major roadblock. Her professional boxing debut, scheduled for the upcoming weekend in Manchester, has been officially scrapped.
The devastating news was confirmed by promoters, who revealed that the entire boxing event at the BEC Arena has been called off entirely. This leaves 'Meatball' Molly and numerous other fighters without a showcase for their skills.
McCann, the beloved Liverpool fighter, had been preparing to face Mexico's Mariana Cota Juarez in what promised to be a spectacular cross-combat sports spectacle. The cancellation represents a significant setback for the UFC flyweight, who had been eagerly anticipating testing her skills in the squared circle.
The promotion behind the event, Probellum, released an official statement expressing their regret: "It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of our Manchester event on July 26. We are working with all parties involved and will provide further updates in due course."
This development comes as a particular blow to McCann, who had been openly discussing her desire to prove herself in boxing after establishing herself as one of the UFC's most exciting talents. The cancellation leaves questions about whether the debut will be rescheduled or if McCann will return her focus solely to mixed martial arts.
Fans who had purchased tickets for the Manchester event are being advised to contact their point of purchase for refunds, while the combat sports community speculates about what led to the last-minute cancellation of the entire fight card.
