Floyd Mayweather’s next exhibition in the UK is in jeopardy as his opponent booked for the fight, Liam Harrison suffered a knee injury. The former kickboxing champion and Muay Thai fighter from Leeds took to Instagram and made the announcement that he is pulling out of the fight as his knee injury is not allowing him to press forward.

Earlier today, the former five-weight division champ made an official announcement through his Instagram account about his much-awaited exhibition. This was going to be his first showdown in the UK. He was set to face Harrison on February 25 at O2 Arena in London. But unfortunately, things took an unexpected turn.

From Harrison’s point of view, he is gutted because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. This fight would have given him what he would not have earned throughout his entire fighting career.
