EDUARD "Landslide" Folayang's match against Yoshihiro "Sexyama" Akiyama has been shelved as the Korean-Japanese legend sustained a bicep tear.
He made the announcement on his Instagram account on Thursday as he regretfully skips ONE on TNT 4 on April 28.
"Unfortunately, my scheduled date for One Championship fight on April 29 has been cancelled. Due to a complete tear in my ligaments and bicep muscles sustained during my training camp, I, unfortunately, have come to the decision that I will not fight," Akiyama wrote.
Akiyama (15-7, 2 NC) was supposed to face off against the two-time lightweight champion Folayang (22-10) at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Folayang, meanwhile, remains under observation due to contact tracing as a number of Team Lakay bets have tested positive for COVID-19.
One Championship has yet to make an announcement on the future of the bout.
