The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) has barred bantamweight champion Johnriel Casimero from fighting against YouTube star Jormiel Labador Fitness on Tuesday, 28 December.
The WBO’s amended resolution makes it clear that Casimero must get authorisation from the boxing body and Probellum, purse bid winners of his fight against Paul Butler.
Casimero was scheduled to fight against Butler in a title defence at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), earlier this month. However, the fight didn’t take place after Casimero suffered from a bout of gastritis.
The Filipino, who is a former International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior-flyweight and flyweight titlist, has defended his WBO title twice against Duke Micah and Guillermo Rigondeaux since dethroning Zolani Tete on November 2019.
