The hits keep coming for Top Rank Boxing.
WBO junior lightweight champion Jamel Herring (21-2, 10 KOs) was slated to defend his title against Johnathan Oquendo (31-6, 19 KOs) on July 2nd on ESPN, but that has been pushed back after Herring revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19.
“Last week, I tested positive for COVID-19. That’s the bad news,” Herring wrote.
“The good news however is, I feel ok and have self-isolated until I receive a clean bill of health. My WBO Junior Lightweight world title defense against Jonathan Oquendo will be rescheduled shortly.”
This is the second main event Top Rank has lost to the virus since it resumed its event schedule on June 9th.
