Dutch-Armenian Gegard Mousasi has pulled the plug on his pro boxing debut on January 8th to face Gary Goodridge at K-1 Dynamite.
Mousasi was due to box as a heavyweight for Art of Boxing promotions at the Glendale Civic Auditorium, California, in the 2010 premier of ESPN2’s ‘Friday Night Fights’. The show features former world heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs and is headlined by a IBF middleweight title eliminator between Roman Karmazin and Dionisio Miranda.
The Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, who was an amateur boxing champion in the Netherlands as a teenager, has been removed from BoxRec’s card after news emerged of his eleventh hour addition to the New Years Eve show.
“As you might have seen Gegard will be facing Gary Goodridge on NYE in Japan,” said M-1 agent Jacob Schaap.
“Mousasi is an M-1 fighter and all the fights he has (boxing, MMA and K-1) are discussed agreed and supported by M-1.”
The former Cage Warriors middleweight champion will reprise his boxing ambitions later this year in conjunction to fighting in DREAM and Strikeforce.
