The purse bid for the World Boxing Association (WBA) super lightweight eliminator fight between Ohara Davies and Sandor Martin, scheduled for this Friday, was canceled after Martin announced that he would not participate.

The WBA ranking committee has now started the process to appoint Davies’ next opponent and will be looking for the next available ranked fighter to face the Englishman in this elimination bout. The name of the next opponent will be announced in the coming days, once the next ranked fighters are spoken to and checked for their availability to take on the challenge.
