An announcement regarding the status of Saturday’s event, at The O2 in London, will be made following consultation with relevant government and sports sector bodies and will be made at the earliest possible opportunity.

Obviously cancelled. That’s BS! RIP to the Queen but they should continue to fight IMO.
It would be awful if they ended up calling this off. I’d keep the event on and use the occasion to throw the Queen a giant celebration.
With respect, what did Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II do? I mean it’s always sad when a loved one dies but what did she do to anybody? Just asking
Rest In Peace
I agree, Arturo! What did that kid eating lizard do for anyone!? I don’t think she did anything but act like she was better than the common folk!
You know how the media and other social systems work. Anytime someone dies that was famous, they are the best at what they have done in their careers no matter any controversy that followed them. Paying the homage to any celebrity after a death is all about cancelling major events and special news announcements that interrupt our daily programs. Personally, let the show go on, but I don’t live in the UK where all this went down so life goes on for me.
Reading your history books, Queen Elizabeth did put her time and effort into developing her active role in the royal sector as a ambassador, mediator, and influential standard. She was very bright in her endeavors.
The show must go on, just the event should develop in a respectful and solemn way in tribute to the dead Queen.
10 day mourning period has just been announced. This event will be rescheduled for two weeks out. That’s the world these days.
Glad this has been postponed in honor of the Queen. Best of luck to Marshall.
With all due respect(which is none); this shouldn’t come as a shock that this haggard, biddy who thought she was better than everyone passed at 96 years old. Enough time has been wasted. People die every day. These fights need to happen.
What the hell does the Queen have to do with boxing???
Wow, they let them get all the way to the weigh-in and then cancel the fight. Screw these posh imperialistic self-agrandizing devils.
It’s a chick fight, who cares if it’s cancelled.
