Jack Shore has pulled out of his upcoming fight against Kyler Phillips.
Shore was set to face Phillips at a Fight Night card on November 19 in a crucial fight for both men. The winner would’ve likely gotten a ranked opponent next but Shore announced he is out of the fight with a serious knee injury. The main event of the card is uncertain at this point.
“Just a quick post guys! Unfortunately I am out of my upcoming fight due to a serious knee injury. Gonna be sidelined for likely the rest of the year as this one is gonna take abit of time to get right! I’ll go into more detail about the specifics on my next podcast to save the long post.
