Looks like the April 24 super middleweight title bout between Andre Ward and Allan Green will be postponed as Ward has sustained a knee injury in training camp.
The fight was set to take place at Oracle Arena in Oakland as part of the second stage of Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic.
"I want this fight in the worst way, and am very excited about it. I have been having recurring problems with my right knee," Ward said. "I went to camp and tried for a week and a half to two weeks, and I can't run like I'm supposed to. I want Allan Green to get an Andre Ward that's 100 percent, just like I want an Allan Green that is 100 percent."
According to ESPN.com, Ward may be out for four to six weeks meaning the fight will likely be rescheduled for late May or early June.
