Tir y Berth boxer Kyran Jones, pictured right, has been forced to pull out of his upcoming fight with Sean Arkright.

The fight was due to take place in the undercard ahead of Lauren Price’s fight with Michaela Kotaskova in Cardiff on November 20.

However, medical reasons have forced the unbeaten middleweight to withdraw.

Posting on Instagram, Jones said his decision came “due to a query flagged during my annual medical”.

He continued: “We’ve been working hard to get this resolved over the last few weeks but with the timeframe, I won’t receive medical clearance in time for the show.

“To say I’m devastated is an understatement. I genuinely felt this was my time, with a Commonwealth silver title and British title eliminator on the line.

“Hopefully we can get this sorted ASAP and keep pushing forward and fighting for what I believe I deserve.”

The other undercard fight will be between Rhondda’s Rhys Edwards and Scotland’s former British, Commonwealth and European champion Lee McGregor.
