LOS ANGELES (May 8) – The scheduled May 31 fight between Shane Mosley and Zab Judah has been canceled due to an arm injury suffered by Judah during his Las Vegas training camp it was announced by Golden Boy Promotions today. The HBO Pay-Per-View event was scheduled to take place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

“It is very unfortunate that Zab suffered this injury and that this great event had to be canceled,” said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. “We are already in discussions with all parties involved to attempt to reschedule the fight for the near future.”
