A number of sources on social media have reported that Tatsuro Taira and Amir Albazi's fight will be canceled next Saturday. The news was posted for the first time by the best fight choices of social media and was apparently confirmed by other points of sale, including Home of Fight.
A little less than 12 hours ago, when nobody knew about the cancellation, Taira teased that something was wrong when he shared a photo of himself training with Instagram. His caption was: “When one door closes, the other will open. Let's go a fire.”
Albazi, on the other hand, has not posted on social media in days. Ironically, his last tweet asked at the beginning of June: “As Vecht fans, you prefer the arenas or the UFC Apex? As a hunter I love the atmosphere and hearing the crowd in the arenas. Gives me a gladiator.”
It is unclear what the cancellation has caused, but Taira seems to be training and ready. He shared a video last night with his teammates in Vegas on his Instagram story.
