Premier Boxing Champions announced today that it has postponed all events scheduled for May.
The management company, which handles many of the best boxers, is following the recommendations of government and health organizations in the worldwide battle against the coronavirus.
“We will reschedule the postponed events at a later date once it becomes safe to do so,” said TGB Promotions President Tom Brown, who handles the promotion for most PBC events.
“Now is the time for everyone to do everything they can to stop the spread of the pandemic and take care of your loved ones and your neighbors.”
Most sports have come to a grinding halt in effort to prevent the virus from spreading.
That reportedly includes the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Dick Pound, a key member of the International Olympic Committee, told USA Today Sports that the Games will be postponed.
