The highly anticipated wrestling match between Bo Nickal and Yoel Romero at RAF 5 has been canceled. The cancellation comes after Yoel Romero missed the weigh-in ahead of the event. This announcement was made just hours before the event’s start time at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida.
Impact of Weight Miss on Titles
Due to his failure to make weight, Romero was stripped of the light heavyweight title. This title has now been awarded to Bo Nickal. In a twist of events, Romero will now face Stephen Buchanan, who also did not make weight for his original matchup.
Changes to the Card
- Bo Nickal has been declared the new light heavyweight champion.
- Yoel Romero will compete against Stephen Buchanan.
- Pat Downey, originally scheduled to fight Buchanan, will not be participating.
- Jordan Oliver also missed weight and lost his featherweight title.
- Oliver will still fight in a one-way title match against Real Woods.
RAF 5 continues to generate interest, as the event will stream live on FOX Nation. Fans and athletes alike are now adjusting to these last-minute changes in the lineup.
