Ian, who had been gearing up for a memorable return to the ring alongside his 13-year-old son Jude, suffered a rib injury that has sidelined him for the event. This match was especially significant as Young was set to face his old rival, Ewe Menzer from Germany, in a unique father-son bonding experience that had captured the imagination of fans.
“I am absolutely gutted,” said coach and promoter Billy Murray. “Ian has been working so hard over the last few months in preparation for this unique event. This was not just another match; it was a special moment for him and his son, who was also scheduled to appear on the bill.”
The good news is that a new date for Ian and Jude's highly anticipated ring return will be announced soon, allowing fans to look forward to this exceptional father-son showdown.
