The British and Commonwealth super-featherweight title fight between Reece Bellotti and Michael Gomez Jnr has been cancelled little over an hour before it was scheduled to start.

Bellotti-Gomez Jnr had represented the chief support to Jack Catterall-Regis Prograis at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester on Saturday evening.

The 29-year-old Gomez Jnr, however, had, according to broadcasters DAZN, been ruled out after a doctor diagnosed him as suffering with a kidney infection soon after his arrival.

"Matchroom Boxing has been informed by the British Boxing Board of Control that tonight's scheduled British and Commonwealth super-featherweight title bout between Reece Bellotti and Michael Gomez is off," read a statement released on social media by promoters Matchroom.

"Michael Gomez Jnr was taken ill in the changing rooms, where he was inspected by doctors and ruled out of the contest.

"We wish Michael a speedy recovery."
