The injury bug continues to wreak havoc for K-OZ Entertainment ahead of their Bragging Right 6 show which is scheduled for July 27 in Perth. Light Heavyweight champion Sam Brown and Will Chope are the latest fighters to withdraw from the card after suffering non-training related injuries.
Brown has reportedly suffered a broken arm while Chope a torn meniscus. Brown was slated to meet Joe Muir in the headliner, with the winner expected to fight UFC veteran Kieth Jardine at Bragging Rights 8. Chope was to face Shantaram Maharaj in a Bantamweight bout.
The setbacks come not long after the news that Manny Rodriguez and Alex Volkanovski were both forced from the lineup with injuries.
The ongoing troubles seemingly couldn’t come at a worse time for K-OZ Entertainment with the promotion recently announcing a broadcasting partnership with Sherdog.com. The deal will include a free worldwide live steam of Bragging Rights 6 and video on demand.
There’s no word yet as to who will replace the latest casualties however the news isn’t all bad for the WA promotion as Middleweight title holder, and current Cage Warriors champion, Jesse Taylor has been announced for the show, against a yet to be named opponent.
Bragging Rights 6 will take place at the Kingsway Indoor Stadium in Perth, Western Australia.
