T&T's crown prince of pro­fes­sion­al box­ing, WBF In­ter­na­tion­al Light­weight cham­pi­on, Prince-Lee Isidore, re­turn to the ring has been de­layed due to the card be­ing can­celled.

This was re­vealed by pro­mot­ers Bhar­rath Ra­moutar, Ria Ram­nar­ine of Fine Line Fight Pro­mo­tions and Teivy Bush-Fight, a su­per­vi­sor from Li­on­stone En­ter­tain­ment' dur­ing on Fri­day’s press con­fer­ence at the gym in the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um in Mu­cu­rapo, Port-of-Spain.

The main rea­sons for the can­cel­la­tion were be­cause of lack of funds and visa prob­lems.

Isidore was ex­pect­ed to take on Mex­i­can Em­manuel Her­rera. They were sched­uled to do bat­tle for ten rounds, to de­ter­mine who takes the RBO In­ter­con­ti­nen­tal Light­weight Ti­tle.

Isidore, con­sid­ered T&T's top pro box­ing prospect, was de­ter­mined to make an­oth­er suc­cess­ful en­try in the ring. His last out­ing earned him a well-de­served vic­to­ry af­ter an en­ter­tain­ing ten-round clash against Venezue­lan An­to­nio Ar­mas. The Ch­agua­nas-based box­er is trained by Bhar­rath Ra­moutar at Fine Line Fight Fac­to­ry and had been prepar­ing for the past sev­er­al months for this ti­tle bout. The match, orig­i­nal­ly sched­uled for June 29 but was post­poned a few times for dif­fer­ent rea­sons.

The main event which got sup­port from the T&T gov­ern­ment to the tune of $75,000 was set to fea­ture the re­turn of Amer­i­can-Trinida­di­an Loris­sa Ri­vas, who was to square off against Cana­di­an Claire Hafn­er. Ri­vas was hop­ing to cap­ture the WBC world heavy­weight ti­tle.

The sup­port­ing card was to in­clude three bouts, a grudge match be­tween Joel “the Mata­dor” Mcrae and Nigel “Cow” Ed­wards, long-time box­er, Ker­ston Man­swell was al­so to be back in the ring for an eight-round bout against an op­po­nent to be named and pro debu­tants Yu­ray Cis­nero and Aaron Williams were card­ed to meet in a four-round light heavy­weight scrap.

The event was al­so be­ing pro­mot­ed by Matthew Collins of the Las Ve­gas-based Li­on Stone En­ter­tain­ment and lo­cal pro­mo­tion out­fit and Fine Line Fight Pro­mo­tions.
