Boxing fans will have to wait to see James DeGale in action at Bluewater after his fight against Alexander Brand on Saturday night was postponed.

DeGale, the 2008 Olympic gold medallist, was due to defend his WBC silver super middleweight title against the 36-year-old Colombian at Glow.

However, promoters Hennessy Sports announced the fight was off and released a statement which said they "apologise to everyone that this unfortunate and unavoidable situation has affected."

Tickets for the show, which was to include DeGale’s second at Bluewater, will be valid for the rescheduled date and refunds will be available from the original point of sale.
