(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injury, has withdrawn from her scheduled December 7 world title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."
