Due to a rib injury sustained while training, Danny Garcia will be unable to compete in his scheduled February 9 world title defense against Zab Judah which was to be televised by SHOWTIME® from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. As a result, the event, and its undercard bouts, have been postponed until Saturday, April 27 at Barclays Center and will be telecast live on SHOWTIME.
Garcia went into detail with ESPN.com, saying he injured a rib on his left side during a sparring session with former titleholder DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley on Jan. 19.
“I didn’t even really feel it until we were done,” Garcia said. “But then I felt pain in my side and then when I was cooling down I couldn’t raise my hands over my head. I had a real sharp pain and I couldn’t really breathe. I went to the doctor and had an X-ray, and the doctor said I have a bruised rib, a wall contusion.”
According to Garcia, the doctor said he would be out for four to six weeks, though Garcia said he tried to work through the injury this past week.
“But the pain was really severe. I couldn’t even sleep,” Garcia said.
All tickets purchased for the February 9 event will be honored on April 27.
Garcia vs. Judah, a 12-round bout for Garcia’s Unified Super Lightweight World Championship, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and supported by Golden Boy Promotions sponsors Corona and AT&T.
