Jamel Herring is again having to withdraw from a fight after a second positive COVID-19 test. Herring was scheduled to headline the Top Rank card versus Jonathan Oquendo on Tuesday night from the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas.
The junior lightweight fight between Mikaela Mayer and Helen Joseph will now be the sole headliner of the event.
Herring-Oquendo canceled again
Herring (21-2, 10 KO) versus Oquendo (31-6, 19 KO) was initially scheduled for July 2. Herring had to cancel due to a positive COVID-19 test. He said this week he was feeling “more mentally strong and tough” after recovering from the virus.
