Lamare Drops off Card due to Injury – Prazak to now face Holm
(NOV 5) WBAN was notified today via press release that Fresquez Productions announced that multi-world champion Myriam Lamare of France after attempting to renegotiate her signed contract and then citing a shoulder injury, has withdrawn from her scheduled December 7 world title
fight against 12-time, three division world champion world champion Holly Holm.
Holm’s replacement will be Australian invader Diana Prazak. Now fighting out of Los Angeles, Prazak will be moving up in weight to fight Holm, a natural welterweight who is dropping back down to light welterweight for this fight only.
The two will fight for the IBA/WBF light welterweight world titles. The boxing event will be taking place at the Route 66 Casino/Hotel, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
In the press release, it stated the following:
“Lamare sent us X-rays and medical records of her injured shoulder,” promoter Lenny Fresquez explained. “It’s frustrating because we’ve already spent a lot of money promoting Holm vs. Lamare II but we’re fortunate to have a great fighter like Diana Prazak step-up to fight the best pound-for-pound women’s fighter in the world, Holly Holm. Diana deserves a lot of credit for accepting that big challenge and I know she’s coming to pull off an upset of Holly.”
