We're sad to learn today that the brilliant looking match up between Jong Seon Kang (10-0-2, 6) [강종선] and Seong Yeong Yang (8-2-5, 4) [양성영], set for August 8th, has had to be cancelled at late notice.
The KBA have revealed that Yang has had to be replaced due to suffering from acute gastritis, forcing the bout, which had us genuinely excited, to be pulled.
Instead of getting Kang Vs Yang, in what would have been a sure fire war, we'll instead see Kang facing late replacement Seung Hyun Lee (3-2, 1) [이승현], who will be fighting for the first time since losing a decision in April 2017.
The two men will be fighting over 6 rounds.
It's a real shame that Kang Vs Yang won't be taking place this weekend, though we suspect the hope, from both teams, will be to get that bout re-arranged for when Yang is recovered from his illness.
