Top Rank are seeking a new co-feature to Keyshawn Davis-Gustavo Daniel Lemos on November 8 after an injury suffered by Brian Norman Jnr forced the cancellation of his fight with Derrieck Cuevas.
BoxingScene understands the 23-year-old Norman Jnr, the WBO welterweight champion, has injured his left hand. His promoters plan to schedule a new date with Cuevas, 29 and of Puerto Rico, for the first quarter of 2025.
Norman Jnr had previously agreed to fight Cuevas when there had existed the opportunity for him to fight the IBF champion Jaron "Boots" Ennis in a unification contest. Ennis has since agreed to fight his mandatory challenger Karen Chukhadzhian on November 9.
Top Rank intend on issuing a statement confirming the development when they have succeeded in replacing Norman Jnr-Cuevas at the Scope Arena in Norfolk.
