A BIG kickboxing event in Bradford on Saturday has been postponed due to fighters pulling out.

Augin Masoud (Netherlands), Alexander Akimov (Lithuania), Eddie Blaze (France) and Jack Cooper (England) were due to be competing in a Champion of Champions Grand Prix qualifier to secure the sole berth in the final for the title of 'Lord of the Ring' in November.

Bradford battler Darren 'The Honey Monster' Moffitt was due to compete on the undercard.

But publicity officer Nathan Childs explained: "Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, a number of fighters have had to withdraw and, as a result, the event has been postponed.

"Fingers crossed, they'll have a new date in the diary soon as to when the event is rearranged."
