HBO Boxing After Dark Cancelled Due To Injury
Mike Perez Suffers Shoulder Injury
 
Mike Perez, scheduled to fight Bryant Jennings, suffered a left shoulder injury during a sparring session earlier this week, forcing Perez to withdraw from the bout.  With this main event fight cancelled, HBO Boxing and Promoters have decided to cancel the entire card scheduled to take place at the American Bank Center Arena on May 24, 2014.
 
"I was floored when I got the call this morning from Perez's manager, Patrick Thomas, that he injured his shoulder in sparring," said Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, Perez's promoter. "Mike is flying back to Ireland to see a shoulder specialist. I'm hoping to hear good news that the injury is not too serious and the fight can be rescheduled in the near future. I know Mike is devastated because of this setback but looks forward to continuing his dream of marching toward a WBC world title fight." – ESPN.com
 
"When I received the news this afternoon that Perez got injured I felt so bad for Bryant because I know how hard he trained for this fight and how much he was looking forward to fighting for this WBC elimination bout," Gary Shaw, Jennings' promoter, said. "I hope that Perez's injury is minor and we can get these guys back in the ring in a timely manner." – ESPN .com
