KENT boxer Johnny Armour's third defence of his WBU bantamweight title has been postponed.

The fight was due to take place at the York Hall in Bethnal Green on March 8 but that has been called off after Armour’s team were unable to find a suitable opponent.

The scheduled opponent pulled out leaving Armour just a few weeks to focus on a new man in what could be a make-or-break fight for the Chatham man, so the fight has been put back.

Armour said: “I’ve been told it's going to be April now so I'm really disappointed. I was just getting myself up for the fight.

“I haven't fought since September and I really want to get in there and get this one out of the way so I can give myself a chance to fight WBC champion Johnny Bredahl. That's the one I really want.”
